HYDERABAD: The BJP on Saturday demanded that Chief Electoral Officer Vikas Raj be suspended and a new official be posted in his place as he had “failed miserably” in solving serious issues related to voter lists, and addressing genuine requests of voters.
Ponna Venkata Ramana, TS Election Commission affairs committee member, in a statement, claimed that Vikas Raj’s removal was required to conduct free and fair elections.
He said the official had refused to address the issue of 36,000 alleged bogus voters added to the list in AIMIM-held Bahadurpura Assembly constituency. Ramana claimed that around 23 lakh voters are misplaced in the draft voter list, especially in Ranga Reddy, Medchal and Hyderabad districts.
