The Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP), on Monday, has urged the Election Commission (EC) to consider cancellation of political party registration for BRS, Congress and the Majlis party for violating constitutional principles by promising reservations based on religion.

In a memorandum to the Chief Electoral Officer Vikas Raj, VHP State secretary S. Pandarinath, vice-president Sunitha Rammohan Reddy and others, had accused the parties mentioned above of “engaging in appeasement politics on religious grounds, specifically regarding religion-based schemes, a practice that not only violates the principles of a fair and secular democracy but also undermines the sanctity of our Constitution”.
