BJP seeks ‘clean up’ of voter lists

Telangana BJP president and Union Minister G. Kishan Reddy, on Monday, called for steps to take up total verification of voter lists in urban areas by the Election Commission without giving any scope for complaints and linking it to Aadhaar.

Talking to mediapersons at the party office after polling concluded, he said the names of those who had passed away were also not deleted despite information being provided. But, at the same time, several names have been removed “indiscriminately” from the voter lists and the same was provided late at night.

“My and my son’s votes were in different polling stations. We need to make reforms in the preparation of the voter lists,” he maintained.
