The YSRCP ministers and leaders lodged a complaint with the State Chief Electoral Officer urging that those who have registered as voters in Telangana shall not register as voters in Andhra Pradesh.
Ministers Ch Venugopala Krishna and Jogi Ramesh, along with MP M Gurumurthy and MLC Lella Appi Reddy, complained about the enrolment of Telangana voters in Andhra Pradesh, violating Section 17 of the Representation of People Act, 1950. It says that no person shall be entitled to be registered in the electoral roll for more than one constituency.
The YSRC team lodged a complaint with AP Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) Mukesh Kumar Meena with evidence and proof. Telugu Desam Chief Nara Chandrababu Naidu is going to New Delhi on December 7 to complain against the YSRCP on entry of bogus votes.
Minister Venugopala Krishna said that it was the biggest violation of electoral practices that had been taken up by the Telugu Desam in Hyderabad as the voters who had already voted in Telangana recently were being illegally
lured to get their names enrolled as new voters in Andhra Pradesh by TD leaders.
He alleged that Naidu was telling lies regarding bogus votes and going to spread the fake news in the national media in New Delhi and sought the Election Commission to remove the double and triple entry voters and give voting rights to genuine voters.
Minister Jogi Ramesh said they had come to notice that there were 4,30,264 duplicate votes in both Hyderabad and AP and asked CEO MK Meena to remove double entries.
The policy of YSRC is that every eligible person should have a vote in one place in the country and they have already informed the Election Commission about this issue many times. He said that after examining the evidence provided by them, an investigation should be conducted and such votes deleted. Minister Jogi alleged that Chandrababu was trying to go back to the Central Election Commission for committing illegalities and complain about it.
