Koppal: Opposition Leader Siddaramaiah, who was in Vanaballari Village in the District to attend the wedding ceremony of Congress Leader Hanumanthappa’s brother, greeted the bride and the groom and announced the names of candidates for five constituencies in the District for the 2023 Assembly elections.
Raghavendra Hitnala from Koppal, Iqbal Ansari from Gangavathi, Amaregowda Bynapura from Kushtagi, Shivaraja Thangadagi from Kanakagiri and Basavaraja Rayaraddi from Yelaburga Constituency should be sent to win the Assembly elections. Only then will you all bless me,” he said, indirectly sending a message that he would be the next Chief Minister.
The BJP has done the job of stealing the votes of the voters whose names are deleted, said Opposition Leader Siddaramaiah and alleged that the votes of minorities and Ahinda communities were the most deleted.
Speaking to mediapersons at Vana Ballari in the Taluk, he said that permission has been given to a firm called Chilume to update the voters’ list. We have no objection to that. But the company has hired private people as BLOs. As per the law, private parties cannot be hired. The BJP is afraid of losing. Therefore, in 28 constituencies, the names of voters have been deleted and included, he said.
The names of 50,000 to 60,000 people have been deleted in each constituency. Those who say they won’t vote for him have been deleted, he said.
Let the issue be investigated by a judge of the High Court or the Supreme Court as the concerned are not answering this. If there is any irregularity in their Department, who are responsible for it? Shouldn’t they answer? Sriramulu is a fool. I will not answer his challenge, he asserted.
