The Story in Brief
Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy on Thursday alleged that genuine votes are being deleted from electoral rolls under the guise of a Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise, ahead of the next assembly elections. Without naming the BJP, he claimed some people are targeting Telangana after West Bengal and Bihar, and warned that even combined agencies like the ECI, ED, CBI and I-T cannot succeed in the state.
Reddy urged voters to check their names on electoral rolls, calling every vote more precious than gold. He said Congress workers would verify lists door to door. He added that most of the 60-70 lakh uncollectable enumeration forms are from Hyderabad, Rangareddy and Medchal-Malkajgiri districts, and alleged the deletions aim to decide who votes in 2028-2029.
The Indian Opinion
Vote deletion accusations are a staple before Indian elections, often sparking more heat than light. The Congress leader did not offer proof, just charged the ECI with bias, a charge it usually denies. The BJP will likely call it a smokescreen for governance failures. The real test is whether the Election Commission releases detailed data on deletions by constituency, which would settle whose votes are being struck off and why.
