Hyderabad, June 12: Telangana Revenue Minister Ponguleti Srinivasa Reddy alleged that SIR was being used as a political tool under the guise of legal procedures and accused the Centre of attempting to influence electoral outcomes.
Addressing a meeting of booth level agents in Yedulapuram of Khammam district on Friday, the minister called on party workers to remain alert during voter verification and electoral processes.

He also accused the BJP of using institutions for political advantage and alleged attempts to influence elected representatives.
