Sangareddy: Holding the State Election Commission responsible for the entire incident in Sangareddy municipality, Congress leader T Jagga Reddy alleged that election officials had enrolled nearly 300 fake votes in every ward during the previous BRS government.

When the Congress candidate attempted to prevent such voters from casting ballots in the 34th ward, Jagga Reddy claimed that Inspector Shiva Kumar pushed the candidate out of the polling booth by holding his collar, which prompted him to intervene.
