Days ahead of the Telangana Assembly elections, citizens find themselves inundated with incessant phone calls from contesting candidates, causing widespread inconvenience.
Sairam, a resident of Madhura Nagar Colony, encountered one such call at approximately 6.30 p.m. on Sunday. Despite dealing with numerous similar calls throughout the day, the Truecaller app on his phone identified the caller as ‘KTR call.’ Upon answering, he was met with an automated voice listing the names of candidates from the Jubilee Hills constituency. The voice instructed him to press 1, 2, or 3 to indicate his voting preference.
Expressing frustration, Mr. Sairam stated, “I am receiving more than five calls from morning till evening. Even when I reject the calls, the same number dials again after a few hours.”
