During the meeting, the leaders submitted a formal complaint, urging the Chief Electoral Officer to take immediate and stringent action against the Chief Minister for what they described as “provocative and divisive statements.” They also demanded accountability and prompt action against those involved in recent attacks on members of the Muslim community.

Speaking after the meeting, BRS leaders alleged that such remarks and violent incidents were creating a sense of fear and insecurity among minorities ahead of the Jubilee Hills by-election. They emphasized that the Election Commission must ensure that all political leaders adhere to the Model Code of Conduct and maintain communal harmony during the campaign period.

The BRS delegation also submitted a separate written representation to the CEO, highlighting the need for stricter monitoring of hate speech and urging the Election Commission to deploy additional surveillance teams in sensitive areas to prevent further escalation of communal tensions.

Party sources said that BRS would continue to raise the issue both at the state and national levels, asserting that the party stands firmly against any attempt to polarize voters along religious lines.
