Hyderabad: Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy on Monday flagged concerns over the possibility of a large number of voter deletions during the special intensive revision (SIR) of the electoral roll, which will begin from June 15. Besides directing the partymen to set up a war room at the state level, Revanth Reddy underscored the need for setting up monitoring mechanisms at district, parliamentary constituency and Assembly segment levels.
Taking part in the party’s virtual meeting presided over by PCC president B. Mahesh Kumar Goud, attended by AICC state in-charge Meenakshi Natarajan and several ministers, the Chief Minister urged the party cadre to remain vigilant till the completion of the SIR.
“A significant percentage of the state’s total votes have been set aside for various reasons as part of the SIR. Attempts are being made to delete these votes on grounds of suspicion. If this happens, we will face a highly dangerous political situation,” Revanth Reddy noted.
Expressing apprehensions that the voter list now prepared would have an impact on the final voter list for the 2028 polls, Revanth Reddy observed that once the votes are deleted, nothing can be done about it later.
“Key leaders must coordinate with BLOs in every village and every polling booth across all 119 constituencies. Voters who have migrated for work may not be present at their residences when BLOs visit. Everyone should ensure that votes are not deleted,” the Chief Minister underlined.
Further, Revanth Reddy urged district in-charge ministers to hold regular review meetings with the respective parliamentary and Assembly constituency in-charges by June 20. He said that the concerned in-charge ministers must establish a monitoring system at the district level and ensure continuous oversight. Moreover, in-charges at both the Parliamentary and Assembly should also establish a monitoring system at constituency level.
“If any issue arises, the respective Assembly constituency in charge must be alerted immediately. Addressing any issues within the 17 Parliamentary constituencies is the responsibility of the respective parliamentary constituency in-charge. Assembly constituency in-charges must bear responsibility for matters within their respective constituencies. Do not take SIR lightly; it must be treated seriously,” the Chief Minister emphasised.
He said there was an immediate need to set up a war room in the Gandhi Bhavan to monitor the activities at the booth level. “Daily reports must be generated and analysed. Any negligence will lead to massive losses,” he warned.
