Nearly 8 lakh bogus voters are expected to be axed from the voter's list in Hyderabad in an exercise taken up by GHMC and Election Commission of India. This is due to cases like death and duplication. The inspecting officer will physically check if the voter is present, dead, shifted or bogus.
But then this exercise has upset a few elected representatives, as it will decrease their vote bank. Some opposition leaders say it is aimed at removing the votes of the Opposition Parties to ensure TRS is strengthened in the Capital Area.
Special focus is also on those voters who have votes in Hyderabad as well as their native places in Seema Andhra. Until now, some of them are exercising their votes in both the areas. Linking Aadhar to Voter Id Cards will help to weed out those votes.
