Former minister T. Harish Rao met Chief Electoral Officer Vikas Raj at BRKR Bhavan, accusing the Congress of violating the election code in the Jubilee Hills by-election by distributing money to voters. He was joined by Talasani Srinivas Yadav, Srinivas Goud, MP Vaddiraju Ravichandra, and MLA Padi Kaushik Reddy. BRS leaders urged officials to ensure free and fair polling in the constituency.
After the meeting, Harish Rao told the media that the Congress had created numerous fake voter ID cards to manipulate votes. The BRS submitted a formal complaint to the Election Commission, along with video evidence showing stacks of these cards.
Rao demanded the deployment of central forces at sensitive polling booths to maintain order. He also suggested assigning women police officers, ASHA workers, and Anganwadi staff to verify women voters’ identities in separate verification rooms.
With polling scheduled for Monday, videos showing piles of voter ID cards have gone viral. The footage has sparked intense discussion across Telangana and raised concerns about the integrity of the election process.
