Hyderabad: The Congress party’s ‘Vote Chori’ campaign in the Bihar Assembly elections has come back to haunt it in the Jubilee Hills by-election, after 43 voters were found registered under a single address in Yousufguda.

According to the latest voters’ list for Krishnanagar B Block in Yousufguda division, 43 voters were enrolled under one address, falling under booth number 246. In addition, several complaints have surfaced alleging that voters were being enrolled in multiple areas of the constituency just ahead of the by-poll.

Sharing the details on X, BRS spokesperson Y Satish Reddy posted, “One classic example out of thousands. The below voter, who is part of (43 voters in a single address), look carefully, he is basically voter of a different constituency but enrolled in Jubilee Hills just for this elections.”

He added, “Thousands of such examples. Isn’t this clearly manipulating the election? VoteChori by Congress.”

The voters’ list reportedly includes a person named Shaik Rasool, a resident of Uppal Assembly constituency, listed as Shaik Naib Rasool in Jubilee Hills. Similarly, another voter, Nangunuri Kranthi Kumar from Nakrekal Assembly constituency, appears as Kranthi Kumar Nangunoori in Jubilee Hills.

At the address Door No. 8-3-231/B/160, all 43 voters are registered, but according to local sources, only two actually reside there while the rest could not be found. The revelations surfaced on social media just days after Congress candidate V Naveen Yadav allegedly distributed voter ID cards in the area.

Several social media users have since accused the Congress of hypocrisy. An X user, @Ssvlogistics201, wrote, “I am asking as a common man, Rahul Gandhi, if you want to come to power, it does not mean that you should walk by holding the constitution. Every leader in your team should also walk according to the constitution, then you should teach ethics to others.”
