TPCC alleges pre-printed applications used for bulk voter deletions

The Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee has alleged that pre-printed applications are being used to facilitate bulk deletions from voter rolls. The party raised concerns about potential large-scale removal of voters without adequate verification.

In response, the Chief Electoral Officer ruled out conducting deletions without proper verification procedures. The officer clarified that any deletion from the electoral roll would require standard verification protocols to be followed, rejecting suggestions of mass removal without checks.

The allegation comes amid broader scrutiny of electoral processes in the state, with the Congress questioning the integrity of voter registration procedures.
