Hyderabad (Telangana) [India], October 13 (ANI): Ahead of Telangana assembly polls, Bharatiya Janata Party leader M Raghunandan Rao met the Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) at BRK Bhavan, Tankbund, Hyderabad and filed a complaint against four government officials of Siddipet district whom he alleged of favouring the Bharat Rashtra Samithi party.
"The Chief Minister and Finance minister come from Siddipet district, so all the officers are working for the BRS, they are taking care of BRS leaders only. If anything goes wrong in the village, they are not filing FIR against BRS instead they are filing cases against BJP and Congress. So I urged the chief election officer that there is a Siddipet CP and ACP who worked for 15 years in the constituency. We have also given two or three examples of incidents like railway inaugural function incidents and other issues that were taken before the CEO," Raghunandan alleged.
"The second complaint is against Harish Rao's OSD whose wife is a councillor in the Dubbaka constituency. He was already trapped by the ACB four years back and he is reinstated with any case, now he has been given a promotion," he told ANI.
"The third complaint is against the EDSC corporation. All these officers are intentionally breaking the MCC rules, they are favouring the ruling party, so I have logged a complaint against four people to the CEO," he said.
Earlier on Monday, the Election Commission of India (ECI) announced that the Telangana Assembly polls are scheduled to be held on November 30.
The counting of votes will be done on December 3, the poll body added.
Telangana is set to witness a triangular contest between the BJP, the ruling Bharat Rashtra Samithi, and the Congress in the upcoming assembly election.
In the previous Assembly election held in 2018, BRS managed to win 88 seats out of 119 and had a dominant vote share of 47.4 per cent. Congress came in a distant second with 19 seats. Its vote share was 28.7 per cent. (ANI)
