The Telugu Desam Party (TDP) on Thursday again raised the issue of fake voters in Tirupati district, especially in Chandragiri constituency.
“Despite our efforts in scrupulously pointing out the presence of the deceased, persons who have shifted to other places and non-locals in the voters’ list, the same names are still present in the list. Who will take responsibility for this?” asked the party’s Chandragiri in-charge Pulivarthi Venkata Mani Prasad (Nani).
Addressing a media conference here, he said there were thousands of voters with bogus door numbers or addresses. There were several such voters in the Chandragiri MLA’s native village, hinting at his likely role, Mr. Prasad alleged. “When we questioned the booth-level officers, some divulged that the tahsildars had approved such votes,” he added.
