Govt. is looking into validity of 60 lakh votes suspected to be bogus, says Sajjala

YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) general secretary Sajjala Ramakrishna Reddy said the government was examining the validity of about 60 lakh votes suspected to be fake and duplicate, and that the allegation of former CM N. Chandrababu Naidu and ‘pro-TDP media’ that the Jagan Mohan Reddy government committed massive irregularities in the revision of electoral rolls appears to be a conspiracy. 

The Chief Minister wanted the facts to be brought to light by getting a resurvey done in the context of Mr. Chandrababu Naidu and his coterie raising a hue and cry that the electoral rolls had a huge number of bogus voters included and the names of voters supporting the TDP were removed at the behest of the ruling party. 

“We will not allow bogus voters to prevent our victory in the 2024 elections,” he stated, while claiming to have exposed the TDP’s complicity in the large-scale manipulation of voter lists when it was in power from 2014 to 2019.
