Kavitha raises concerns over duplicate voter entries
The BRS leader alleged that Telangana has a large number of duplicate voter registrations. She claimed officials removed only 800 votes from Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy’s Kodangal constituency.
Meanwhile, Kavitha said her party verified the electoral rolls in Kodangal. She claimed the exercise identified nearly 33,000 duplicate votes.
According to her, the Chief Minister won the previous election by around 32,000 votes. She alleged that the duplicate entries had raised doubts about the election outcome.
Further, she questioned whether votes shifted from Karnataka along with the alleged transfer of money during the elections. She urged the Election Commission to examine the matter.
The BRS MLC also called on the Election Commission to verify voter data across states during the nationwide SIR exercise. She claimed some Hyderabad voters also have registrations in Andhra Pradesh. She said every voter should have only one valid registration.
Finally, she demanded the removal of interstate duplicate voter entries. She said her party would submit a formal complaint to the Election Commission.
ఒక్క ఎన్నికల ఫలితాన్నే ప్రభావితం చేసే స్థాయిలో 33 వేల డూప్లికేట్ ఓట్లు ఉన్న కొడంగల్ నియోజకవర్గంలో గత సంవత్సన్నర కాలంలో తొలగించిన ఓట్లు కేవలం 808 మాత్రమే. అదే సమయంలో బోధన్ నియోజకవర్గంలో మాత్రం దాదాపు 7 వేల ఓట్లు ఎలా తొలగించారు?
ఈ వ్యత్యాసం అనుమానాలకు తావిస్తోంది. ఎన్నికల సంఘం… pic.twitter.com/T2YFczvKzf
