AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi on Sunday urged the Election Commission and the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation to act on complaints that Booth Level Officers (BLOs) refused to accept enumeration forms on August 9 and 10, citing Bonalu and Rangam public holidays. Many voters, including a techie from Charminar and a businessman from Yakutpura, said they could not submit forms and panicked as the August 10 deadline approached. Meanwhile, BJP leader N Ramchander Rao alleged that the BRS, Congress and AIMIM were trying to include illegal immigrants in the Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls. He asked party workers to scrutinise voter entries. The digitisation of forms stood at 78.14 per cent statewide by Sunday, with Hyderabad crossing 58 per cent.
