The Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) has objected to the registration of an ex-officio vote by Kadiyam Kavya in Thorrur Municipality, alleging that the move violates provisions of the Municipal Act. The issue has triggered political tension within the civic body.
BRS leaders stated that despite having a clear majority, attempts are being made to prevent the party from securing the Chairman post.
Dispute over dual vote registration
The controversy centres on the claim that Kadiyam Kavya had already registered an ex-officio vote in the Warangal Municipal Corporation in 2025. BRS leaders questioned how a fresh vote registration was permitted in Thorrur Municipality while the earlier one remained valid.
They argued that such action contradicts established municipal procedures and called for clarification from authorities.
Reference to Municipal Act provisions
BRS representatives cited the 2019 Municipal Act, stating that once an ex-officio vote is registered in one municipal body, it remains valid there until the completion of the tenure. They questioned whether the rule had been overlooked in this instance.
The party has expressed dissatisfaction over what it described as administrative lapses and demanded adherence to legal provisions.
Political implications for the Chairman election
The dispute has emerged at a time when the Chairman election is approaching in Thorrur Municipality. BRS leaders alleged that the situation is being used to influence the outcome despite the party holding majority support.
The issue has added a fresh dimension to the local political landscape, with calls for officials to review the vote registration process and ensure compliance with municipal rules.
