Hyderabad: Fresh allegations of large-scale fake voter entries have emerged in the Jubilee Hills Assembly constituency, with the BRS discovering dozens of bogus votes during door-to-door campaign and verification.

According to BRS leaders, 40 fake votes were detected in Swaraj Nagar, Borabanda division, including 10 in one house and 30 in another. Former Minister and senior MLA G Jagadish Reddy, who was campaigning in the locality, also uncovered 28 fake entries at Booth No 326 in Banjara Nagar of Borabanda division, where only six genuine residents lived.

Similarly, 44 fake entries were found at Booth No 124, H No 8-3-191/197, Vengal Rao Nagar, prompting locals to approach the Chief Electoral Officer seeking an inquiry and strict action.

BRS corporator Raj Kumar Patel reportedly identified multiple duplicate voter IDs and EPIC cards in the Yousufguda division and submitted evidence to the returning officer.

Accusing the ruling Congress of engineering the fraud, Jagadish Reddy said Congress leaders and local officials had colluded to create bogus votes to win the by-election. “We have placed clear evidence before the public and the media. Immediate action should be taken against those responsible,” he demanded.

The BRS has intensified its campaign to eliminate thousands of fake and duplicate votes in the constituency ahead of the Jubilee Hills bypoll scheduled for November 11.
