BJP Alleges Voter Intimidation During Telangana Electoral Roll Revision
The BJP in Telangana has accused AIMIM and Congress workers, including Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy, of intimidating migrant voters during the Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls. The BJP alleges false claims that voter enrollment is linked to welfare benefits and reports of enumeration forms being forcibly collected or withheld. It has urged the Chief Electoral Officer to investigate these allegations, deploy central forces for voter protection, and clarify that voter ID possession is not mandatory for accessing government schemes. The electoral revision is ongoing until August 3 across several constituencies.
