Aadhaar Voter ID linkage drive
Hyderabad: Telangana BJP president G Kishan Reddy has strongly opposed the Aadhaar seeding of Voter ID cards which was being carried out by the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation. Speaking to the media here on Monday, Kishan Reddy alleged that the names of thousands of Hindu voters were being removed from electoral rolls in the name of Aadhaar seeding.
He said he would approach the court against the GHMC's drive. There was no need to link Aadhaar with Voter ID, the BJP president said. Kishan Reddy pointed out that the Supreme Court’s ruling which clearly stated that Aadhaar (Unique Identification Number) was not mandatory. He alleged that the TRS government launched the Aadhaar seeding drive fearing defeat in the forthcoming GHMC elections.

The BJP president accused the TRS government of following in the footsteps of previous YSR government. He ridiculed the State government for calling tenders worth Rs 16,000 crore for Water Grid project while it allocated just Rs. 4,000 crore in the budget. Even before initiating the works on Palamuru Lift Irrigation Project, the State government called for tenders to lay the pipelines.
He demanded the State government to issue a white paper on the funds released for different welfare schemes. Kishan Reddy also slammed MIM leaders for opposing execution of Mumbai blast convict Yakub Memon. Stating that terrorism has no religion, he accused MIM for linking Yakub Memon with Muslims.
