Telangana CM Alleges BJP Plot to Delete Congress Votes in Electoral Roll Revision
Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy accused the BJP-led central government of attempting to delete Congress supporters' votes through the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls ahead of the 2028 Assembly elections. He alleged similar tactics were used by the BJP in Maharashtra, Bihar, and West Bengal, and claimed the BJP targeted SC, ST, and minority voters. Reddy also criticized the Bharat Rashtra Samithi for allegedly supporting these efforts. The final SIR list is expected on October 19, with the state government seeking an extension for the deadline.
