Opposition parties, such as the Telugu Desam Party (TDP), Jana Sena, and the BJP, escalated their protests against the alleged occurrence of "bogus" votes in the Tirupati assembly constituency on Saturday. The BJP leaders, led by former TTD trust board member G Bhanu Prakash Reddy, asserted that the suspension of Annamayya district collector PS Girisha and a few other lower-ranking officials in connection with the registration of fraudulent votes during the 2021 Tirupati Lok Sabha by-elections, resulted from a complaint they lodged with the Election Commission of India.
