The Congress on Friday alleged that All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) chief Asaduddin Owaisi is registered as a voter in different places in two assembly segments in Hyderabad.
Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee vice president G Niranjan in a letter to the Election Commission has claimed that the Hyderabad MP is registered as a voter in Rajendra Nagar and Khairatabad assembly constituencies.
“This indicates the irresponsibility of an elected member of parliament and also recklessness of election machinery in publishing the final voters’ list,” Niranjan said, while attaching the voters’ lists of both the constituencies he claimed to have downloaded from the Election Commission’s website.
The Telangana Congress chief demanded action from the poll panel against the AIMIM chief. The Grand Old Party’s charge against the Hyderabad MP is bound to set political tempers soaring in the year Telangana goes to polls.
Owaisi has been a sitting MP from Hyderabad since 2004, having retained his bastion in 2009, 2014 and 2019 Lok Sabha elections. His father Sultan Salahuddin Owaisi had been a member of parliament from the city for six terms from 1984 to 2004.
