Telangana Congress Leaders Allege Electoral Roll Manipulation Favoring BJP, Demand CEC ResignationPreviousNext

Telangana Congress leaders, including Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy and TPCC president Mahesh Kumar Goud, have accused the Election Commission of India (ECI) of manipulating electoral rolls through the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) to favor the BJP. They allege voter deletions targeting opposition supporters, particularly marginalized groups, and demand Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar's resignation. The leaders called for intensified protests and urged the Supreme Court to address alleged irregularities amid concerns over declining voter numbers despite population growth.
