Mangaluru: Health minister UT Khader Saturday questioned Bengaluru South MP Tejasvi Surya over his allegations of discrepancies in voter lists, saying the MP should seek official clarification from election authorities instead of making statements for publicity. Surya cited four to five names while alleging electoral-roll irregularities at a Prajaprabhutva Ulisi Arajakate Alisi protest meeting on Friday.Khader said Surya should have written to the deputy commissioner and the Election Commission seeking clarification on complaints raised by citizens, rather than making “hit-and-run” speeches for newspaper and television publicity. “Whoever has the eligibility to vote, only their votes should be in the voter list of my constituency, and we do not want the names of those who are ineligible,” Khader said.
