BRS alleges fake voters, duplicate entries in Jubilee Hills

BRS alleges 20,000 fake voters in Jubilee Hills, claims Congress manipulating electoral process through systematic voter list irregularities

"In many cases, a single person has two or three voter ID cards - K.T. Rama Rao"

Hyderabad, Oct 13

Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) working president K.T. Rama Rao along with senior party leaders, submitted a detailed representation to the Chief Electoral Officer of Telangana highlighting large-scale irregularities, duplicate entries, and fake votes in the Jubilee Hills Assembly constituency, where by-elections are scheduled on November 11.

Speaking to the media after the submission, KTR alleged that the Congress is resorting to every possible misuse of power and manipulation to win the Jubilee Hills seat.

"The Congress is using all means -- persuasion, division, and coercion -- to influence the outcome. Ministers from across the state have descended on Jubilee Hills to misuse official machinery and government resources," KTR alleged.

The BRS leaders said that when even MLAs of the ruling are writing letters to the World Bank and newspapers saying the government has no funds, the Congress government is suddenly pouring in massive funds in Jubilee Hills, 'deceiving' the public once again for electoral gain.

He claimed that at least 20,000 duplicate and fake votes have been identified by BRS in Jubilee Hills constituency so far.

Nearly 50 fake votes have been registered in each booth. The constituency has about 400 polling booths.

"In many cases, a single person has two or three voter ID cards. In some instances, the same name appears multiple times with minor spelling changes," he said.

"In several houses, we found 150-200 votes registered at a single address. In one instance, a small house had over 100 votes," KTR added.

He further alleged that the Congress party, in collusion with lower-level officials, deliberately added thousands of fake voters.

"Around 15,000 voters were registered without valid addresses. In one case, the house owner himself said that none of the 23 registered voters in his house actually live there," KTR stated.

He accused the Congress of trying to win through voter theft, likening it to "Rahul Gandhi's national-level electoral theft reflected locally in Jubilee Hills".

BRS demanded that the Election Commission conduct a full-scale investigation into the irregularities in the Jubilee Hills voter list, take strict action against officials who colluded in adding fake votes and transfer all compromised field officers immediately to ensure free and fair elections.

KTR said that despite the deletion of about 12,000 invalid votes, another 7,000 new fake votes were added, making it a total manipulation of nearly 19,000 votes.

Same old tactics by Congress party. When they can't win fairly, they resort to these cheap tricks. EC should conduct thorough verification and punish the guilty officials.

While these allegations are serious, I hope BRS is also presenting concrete evidence. All parties should focus on development rather than mudslinging. Let's wait for EC's investigation results.

150-200 votes in one house? This is ridiculous! In my apartment, we have only 12 registered voters. Election Commission should conduct door-to-door verification immediately. 🏠

Why is this happening only in Jubilee Hills? This is a wealthy constituency where every vote matters. Political parties should respect democracy and let people choose their representatives fairly.

As an observer, I find these numbers staggering. 19,000 manipulated votes could easily swing any election. The Election Commission's credibility is at stake here. They need to act decisively.

This is why we need electoral reforms. Aadhaar linking with voter ID should be mandatory to prevent such fraud. Every genuine voter's right is being stolen by these fake entries. 😠
