Name trouble for Konda

Name trouble for Konda

Duplicate Names Stir Ballot Confusion in several other parliament constituencies in Telangana.

Konda Vishweshwar Reddy, the BJP candidate for the Chevella Loksabha constituency, approached the High Court alleging that the Election Commission of Inda failed to address his concern about another candidate with the same name, causing voter confusion. The other Konda Vishveshwar Reddy, is listed as an independent candidate on the ballot paper. The BJP candidate asked EC to separate their names by at least ten other candidates on the ballot to avoid mix-ups. However, the ECI stated that current rules do not allow for such changes at this stage. The HC has deferred the decision back to the EC.
Similar issues are seen in other constituencies. In Nizamabad, Congress's Thatiparthi Jeevan Reddy and an independent Tutukuru Jeevan Reddy will contest. Nagarkurnool has Congress's Mallu Ravi and the Alliance of Democratic Reforms Party's Amboju Ravi. Despite different party symbols, the presence of candidates with identical names could lead to voter confusion during the elections.
