YSRC Leader Wants Bogus Votes Weeded Out

VIJAYAWADA: YSRC general-secretary and adviser to government Sajjala Ramakrishna Reddy on Saturday called on ruling party legislators, in-charges of assembly constituencies, party district presidents and coordinators to weed out bogus voters from the Election Commission of India’s voters’ list.

He pointed out that Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy himself has ordered party workers and leaders to weed out bogus votes, particularly when voters’ list is being amended by the ECI through door-to-door surveys.

Ramakrishna Reddy said YSRC leaders should focus on booth-wise voters’ lists and weed out bogus votes with the help of booth-level workers. In this context, he pointed out that more than 60 lakh stolen votes had been used by the Chandrababu Naidu regime. He underlined that bogus votes will be a crucial issue during the forthcoming elections.

At the same time, the government adviser asked booth-level workers to ensure that the names of all new voters, who have attained the age of 18 years, are enrolled in the voters’ list.

The YSRC general-secretary emphasised that the ruling party leaders must also refute the venomous propaganda by opposition parties against the Jagan Mohan Reddy government. At the same time, they must also spread information about the state government’s welfare and development programmes into the masses.

He maintained that no matter the many conspiracies, YSRC's victory is assured in the forthcoming elections. He asked party ranks to work towards increasing the party's victory margin in every constituency.
