Complains that apps like ‘My TDP’ & ‘Seva Mitra’ were used to manipulate electoral rolls
PNS|Vijayawada
The Yuvajana Sramika Rythu Congress Party (YSRCP), led by its Rajya Sabha MP Vijayasai Reddy, has lodged a formal complaint with the Election Commission of India (ECI), alleging the inclusion of nearly 50 lakh bogus votes in the voters’ list during the tenure of the Telugu Desam Party (TDP). The delegation met with the Election Commission on Monday to raise these concerns.
Vijayasai Reddy, addressing the media in the national capital, Delhi, stated that they had presented evidence to the Chief Election Commissioner, illustrating how electoral rolls between 2014 and 2019 had been manipulated under the leadership of Chandrababu Naidu’s TDP. Reddy further argued that the TDP’s allegations of voter list manipulation by the YSRCP were baseless and legally unsustainable.
“We have informed the election officials about how the TDP party is including and deleting voter names from voters’ lists using apps like ‘My TDP’ and ‘Seva Mitra’. The opposition party is using these private apps to do the profiling of voters and delete the names of voters who are the supporters of other parties,” explained Vijayasai Reddy.
