Hyderabad. Rejecting Bharatiya Janata Party’s Hyderabad Lok Sabha candidate Madhavi Lata’s allegation of around six lakh fake votes in the constituency, AIMIM president Asaduddin Owaisi on Saturday said the Election Commission takes care of the issue of voter list.
Owaisi, who is contesting from Hyderabad constituency, wondered what his role was in this matter. The AIMIM leader said the process of adding names and publishing the final voter list is done every year by the Election Commission, of which he is not the chairman.
He was answering a question from journalists regarding Madhavi Lata’s allegation that Owaisi won with the help of six lakh fake votes. He said that this allegation is like abusing the Election Commission.
He told reporters, ‘By speaking like this you are insulting the voters of Hyderabad, which includes the backward class brothers and Dalits, minority Muslims, Christians who vote. Because of their votes, every party is getting votes and AIMIM is successful.
Asked about alleged comments by a Congress leader in Hyderabad that he would have to befriend AIMIM, Owaisi said his party has no alliance with any party in Telangana for the Lok Sabha elections.
His party has formed PDM in Uttar Pradesh and his MP in Maharashtra Imtiaz Jaleel is talking on this issue. Owaisi started his campaign on Friday and campaigned door-to-door in Bahadurpur assembly constituency.
