Owaisi Alleges Misuse of Form 7 to Remove Muslim Voters, BJP Denies Claims

Analysed 4 Oct 2026·2 sources analysed·Telangana, India·Politics
Owaisi Alleges Misuse of Form 7 to Remove Muslim Voters, BJP Denies ClaimsPreviousNext

AIMIM leader Asaduddin Owaisi has accused BJP activists of misusing Form 7 during Telangana's Special Intensive Revision to remove Muslim voters from electoral rolls. He warned of large protests in Hyderabad if such actions continue, urging the Election Commission to investigate and act against false applications. Telangana BJP has denied the allegations, calling for legal proof and criticizing Owaisi's rhetoric. Form 7 allows objections to voter list changes, and officials are preparing final rolls amid these claims.
