Across the Jayanagar constituency, 5,698 pre-printed Form 7 applications were submitted for voter deletions," she alleged. Sowmya Reddy further claimed that most of the deleted voters belonged to minority and #Dalit communities and were people who had traditionally supported the #Congress party."We have filed a complaint with video evidence.
