Mangaluru: Karnataka Cashew Development Corporation chairperson Mamata Gatti on Wednesday accused BJP MP Tejasvi Surya of misleading the public by presenting alleged irregularities in the electoral rolls at Talapady as a case of five Muslim voters being illegally registered at the residence of a retired bank manager.Refuting Surya’s allegations, Gatty said houses bearing numbers 1/288 and 1/288C were separate properties, with Mohammed Nazir’s family residing at the latter for over 20 years and registered voters there since 2002. The electoral roll listed five members of Nazir’s family at 1/288C and Sathyamurthy K, a retired Canara Bank manager, and three family members at 1/288, both under part number 186.She said one name, Kabir, had been mistakenly entered against Sathyamurthy’s address at 1/288, it was a printing error, but was subsequently clarified to the relevant officials, and will be corrected accordingly. “The correction was already conveyed at the time of Surya’s speech,” she claimed. She accused Surya of misleading the public by presenting the issue without verifying the facts.“He might have read the complaint, but shouldn’t he verify ? An MP is a responsible person. He should not make allegations without verifying the facts or use electoral processes to mislead people for applause,” she said.Gatti also criticised Surya for holding Mangaluru MLA UT Khader responsible for the alleged discrepancies and said a representation was submitted to deputy commissioner by BLA Abdul Salam and has sought an inquiry.
