BJP intensifies charge over Jubilee Hills bypoll conduct
The BJP leader said the final three rounds would swing in his party’s favour. He added that the campaign stayed clean and avoided inducements. According to him, cash-based tactics weakened the integrity of the contest.
Reddy accused opponents of buying local leaders along with distributing sarees and gifts. He also alleged misuse of government machinery during the campaign. Such actions, he said, raised serious concerns about the fairness of the race.
He indicated that the BJP planned to file formal objections. Confidence among the cadre, he noted, remained steady despite the trend. The candidate urged authorities to act firmly against malpractice.
