YSRCP seeks rectification of voters' lists

Hyderabad, July 11,
2013: YSR Congress has said that the voters list has been tampered in Pileru
assembly constituency and demanded the Election Commissioner to rectify the
errors on time allowing all eligible voters to take part in the democratic
process.

“The names of many
supporters of YSRCP in Chief Minister’s constituency have been deleted though
they have voter ID cards while Congress workers are having dual voting rights.
We have urged the EC to look into the irregularities and he referred the matter
to District Collector. We demand that the electoral rolls should be set right
before the closing of nominations,’ Party spokesperson Janak Prasad and the
affected people told reporters here on Wednesday.

While the names of
supporters of YSRCP supporters are being deleted in various villages, those who
are in support of Congress are being registered at more than one place. “Misuse
of official machinery is in full play in deleting the names of opponents and
this trend should be reversed and all eligible voters should have the chance to
vote and contest,” they said.

The irregularities are
more in the Chief Minister’s home constituency while the trend is same in other
places as well.

The Chief Minister has
been violating the election code by making announcements on Pulichinthala
project and even the Irrigation Development Corporation officials have been
giving statements which go against the code, they said.

We demand that the
voters’ rolls should be in order and all those names deleted should be included
before July 13 which is the last date for nominations for the first phase.
