Sowmya Reddy Claims Thousands of Voters Targeted Through Form 7 Applications, Files Police Complaint Bengaluru #Karnataka Pradesh Mahila Congress President Sowmya Reddy on Monday lodged a complaint at the Jayanagar Police Station in #Bengaluru , alleging large-scale irregularities in voter deletions in the Jayanagar Assembly constituency (No. 173). In her complaint, Reddy alleged that 4,327 voters in Ward No. 171 (Gurrapanapalya) had been removed from the electoral roll, while a total of 5,698 #Form7 applications seeking deletion of voters had reportedly been submitted across the constituency. According to the complaint, the deletions were allegedly carried out at the request of Lokesh, who is stated to be associated with #BJP leader C.K. Ramamurthy. Reddy further alleged that pre-printed Form 7 applications were used to facilitate the deletions. The complaint also names Yogesh, who is alleged to have worked with C.K. Ramamurthy, accusing him of involvement in irregular voting-related activities. Sowmya Reddy stated that former corporator Rizwan Nawab and the concerned Booth Level Officers ( #BLOs ) were present when the alleged irregularities came to light. She said an inquiry into the matter had already been conducted by Returning Officer (RO) Eshwar Naidu and Assistant Returning Officer (ARO) Rekha. Claiming to possess video and photographic evidence supporting the allegations,Sowmya Reddy urged the police to verify the records, examine the inquiry findings, and take appropriate legal action if any violations are found. After lodging the complaint,Sowmya Reddy released a video statement elaborating on the allegations.She said the issue surfaced during the ongoing Special Intensive Revision ( #SIR ) process, for which September 28 was the last date."A few people contacted us during the process. That is when we discovered that 4,327 Form 7 applications had been submitted in a single ward. 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. In the audio clips, the individuals have allegedly admitted that they are from the BJP office and are working as BLA-2. Elections should be free and fair. We urge citizens to remain vigilant and protect their voting rights," she said. The police are yet to issue an official response to the allegations. @Sowmyareddyr @INCKarnataka @BJP4Karnataka @ceo_karnataka Video Source: https://x.com/path2shah/status/2107136095221932160
