The Story in Brief
Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy on Thursday alleged that certain political forces were trying to manipulate voter lists during the state's Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. Speaking at a Minorities Excellence Summit, he urged Congress workers to verify every household's voter details so that no eligible citizen loses the right to vote. Reddy likened the alleged attempt to similar accusations made against parties in West Bengal.
Reddy also defended the Congress government's 4 per cent minority reservation, claiming beneficiaries have secured Group-1 and Group-2 government jobs despite legal challenges in the Supreme Court. He cited appointments including a minority community member to the Telangana Public Service Commission, former cricketer Mohammed Azharuddin as a minister, and boxer Nikhat Zareen's cash award. The Chief Minister called Hindus and Muslims 'two eyes' and accused the BJP of opposing the quota.
The Indian Opinion
A chief minister calling both Hindus and Muslims his 'two eyes' while simultaneously accusing the BJP of plotting to scrap minority quotas sounds less like unity and more like a campaign speech. The real test is not rhetoric but the final electoral roll data. Watch how many names are actually deleted or added once the Special Intensive Revision concludes. Will the numbers bear out the allegation of a 'West Bengal-style' conspiracy, or will they show routine churn?
