Owaisi Alleges Misuse of Form 7 Against Muslim Voters; BJP Denies Claims in TelanganaPreviousNext

AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi has accused BJP activists of misusing Form 7 during Telangana's Special Intensive Revision to remove Muslim voters from electoral rolls, warning of large protests in Hyderabad if the Election Commission does not intervene. BJP Telangana president N. Ramchander Rao denied these allegations, stating the process is supervised by the Election Commission and involves verification before deletions. Both sides have called for legal scrutiny, amid concerns over electoral integrity and communal tensions.
