Former minister Harish Rao also alleged that Congress was distributing over a lakh of sarees and mixer grinders as part of its election campaign in Jubilee Hills. He said the BRS had submitted all relevant video and photo evidence to the Election Commission and called for action against officials allegedly misusing their power in favor of the ruling party. Harish Rao emphasized that, despite the ruling party’s attempts, voters in Jubilee Hills would make their choice independently.
