Sunitha said police stopped her while she was inspecting polling centres in Borabanda. “They pushed me back and said, ‘so what if you’re an MLA candidate?’” she said. She called the police behaviour a clear act of bias.

The BRS leader alleged that Congress workers and hired men were threatening voters, and police ignored the violations. “Congress fears losing this seat, so its leaders are using threats,” she said.

She also charged that a rowdy-sheeter in Borabanda was intimidating voters with police help. “People hesitate to vote because the police protect such elements,” she said.
