The Telangana government has directed the State Election Commission to launch a fresh investigation into political figures Dharani and Bhu Bharathi following allegations of electoral malpractices.
In a move to address growing concerns over alleged electoral irregularities, the Telangana government has instructed the State Election Commission (SET) to initiate a comprehensive probe into the conduct of Dharani and Bhu Bharathi.
The directive comes after a series of complaints were filed by opposition parties and civil society groups, alleging that the two politicians engaged in vote‑buying and misuse of public resources during the last assembly elections.
The SET, which oversees election conduct across the state, will assemble a special investigative panel and is expected to submit its findings within 60 days, according to a statement released by the government.
Both Dharani and Bhu Bharathi have denied any wrongdoing, stating that the allegations are politically motivated. The probe is likely to have implications for the upcoming by‑polls in several constituencies.
