Overview

• BRS leaders submitted a detailed representation to the Telangana Chief Electoral Officer alleging large-scale manipulation of the Jubilee Hills electoral roll.
• K. T. Rama Rao said the party will petition the Telangana High Court today after receiving no response from the Election Commission to its filed complaint.
• The complaint cites 23,000 additions and 12,000 deletions since the 2024 rolls and claims nearly 20,000 duplicate or fake entries, including multiple registrations at single addresses.
• KTR alleged misuse of government machinery by Congress and highlighted an example that the Congress candidate’s brother was listed with three votes, while demanding a full inquiry and action against involved officials.
• Congress minister Ponnam Prabhakar rejected the claims as diversionary politics, as the bypoll to replace late MLA Maganti Gopinath proceeds with BRS nominating his wife, Maganti Sunitha.
