Telangana BJP has appealed to the Election Commission of India (ECI) complaining about the state police being a ‘mute spectator’ to the various ‘electoral malpractices’ by the ruling BRS representatives during polling in various districts across the state on Thursday.
State president and Union Minister for Tourism, Culture and Development of Northeast Region, G. Kishan Reddy, in his complaint, charged that the police was allowing the BRS leaders to move in groups of 100-200 people around the polling areas and when the BJP was objecting to the same, the party cadre was being ‘attacked’.
Giving specific instances, the Minister said it happened predominantly seen in Jangoan where the BJP leaders were threatened with dire consequences by the BRS groups when the electoral violations were being brought to the notice of the police teams present there.
