Yakutpura Assembly Constituency had 57,457 voters who shifted to a new location but still had their Voter ID card in the old location. There were 29,327 houses in the constituency with a single voter. Yakutpura also had one house: ‘H No 17-1-391’ which had 662 voters, these and other details about the Hyderabad Parliamentary constituency were shared by Telangana Congress Congress Committee General Secretary Feroz Khan on Wednesday demanding a clean-up of voters’ list. “The house with 662 voters is near MBT leader Amjedullah Khan’s house who lost the assembly elections by 878 voters. If the EC had cleaned up the list earlier, Amjedullah Khan would have won,” Mr. Khan said.
