Former MLA and Congress leader Danam Nagender on Thursday, October 1, alleged that a large number of genuine voters had been removed from the electoral rolls in his constituency and demanded criminal action against those responsible.
Nagender alleged that nearly 20,000 names had been deleted from his Khairtabad Assembly
constituency amid the special intensive revision despite some of the voters having been on the rolls for several years and having exercised their franchise in previous elections.
Alleging that the exercise amounted to “vote theft”, he called for strict action against election officials if any collusion or wrongdoing was established.
