More than 60 lakh fake voters had found their way into the electoral rolls in 2018 when the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) was in power in Andhra Pradesh, and these bogus entries would have to be removed, Minister of Mines Peddireddi Ramachandra Reddy said on August 31.
Reacting to the TDP’s allegations that the YSRCP government was deliberately removing the names of voters owing their allegiance to the opposition party, Mr. Ramachandra Reddy said the YSRCP had been insisting on the Election Commission of India (ECI) to remove all these bogus voters from the rolls.
