BRS alleges voter deletions; data remains missing
BRS says Telangana’s roll revision hit its constituencies hardest. The Election Commission’s constituency-wise evidence has yet to appear.
The constituency-wise record remains unavailable while the roll-revision process continues.
The Bharat Rashtra Samithi has alleged that Telangana’s Special Intensive Revision excluded the most voters from constituencies it won in the 2023 Assembly election. The claim is attributed to a preliminary analysis by the Kolkata-based Saber Institute, but the underlying report and constituency-wise data have not been made available in the material reviewed.
The scale of the revision is not in dispute. Figures attributed to the Telangana Chief Electoral Officer show 73.39 lakh electors excluded from the draft rolls: 9,22,229 marked deceased, 57,46,803 identified as permanently shifted or absent, and 6,70,203 listed in multiple places. Claims and objections were scheduled from August 17 to September 16, with disposal continuing through October 15. The final-roll process is therefore not yet complete.
BRS has separately sought verification of suspected duplicate entries and warned it would consider legal action if eligible voters were removed. It is a reasonable demand. What remains unavailable is the constituency-wise record needed to test the newer political claim. Until the Election Commission publishes it, the allegation is a claim—and the missing spreadsheet is doing more work than the official explanation.
