Hyderabad: As the counting of votes for the Munugode by-poll began at 7:30 a.m on 6 November, BJP state president Bandi Sanjay Kumar alleged that the state chief electoral officer's attitude is suspicious.
He questioned why the CEO was not uploading the results when BJP was in the lead and alleged that "results are not being uploaded round-wise unless TRS is leading."
The MP claimed there was an unprecedented delay in declaring the results. "If there is any mistake in the election results, we will complain to the Central Election Commission," he warned.
Union minister G. Kishan Reddy has apparently called the CEO Vikas Raj to express his resentment over the delay in election results.
