SIR: CM Calls For Preparedness Across AP For EC’s Revision Process
Naidu said the revision process would be closely monitored throughout the state
VIJAYAWADA: Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu on Tuesday called upon his Telugu Desam party leaders and cadre to remain fully alert and create awareness among voters about the Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls being undertaken by the Election Commission.
He stressed that the voter registration and verification process must be treated as a top organisational priority.
Addressing a state-level workshop on SIR at the TD central office in Amaravati, attended by MPs, MLAs, MLCs, zonal coordinators, party observers and booth-level agents, Naidu said coordination among TD, Jana Sena and BJP would be critical during the SIR exercise. A three-party coordination committee would soon be constituted and an NDA meeting held to streamline the efforts.
Naidu said the revision process would be closely monitored throughout the state. TD cadres must undertake repeated field visits, verify voter records and coordinate with booth-level officers to ensure comprehensive voter mapping before the exercise concludes.
“Voter lists form the foundation of every electoral strategy. Every vote must be mapped and every eligible citizen must be enrolled,” he said.
The chief minister announced that the TD would conduct periodic reviews of the voter-verification exercise down to the grassroots. He also emphasised the importance of alliance coordination, stating that the TD would work closely with its alliance partners, the Jana Sena and BJP, during the revision process.
A joint coordination mechanism involving the three parties will be established soon to oversee voter-list activities and strengthen grassroots cooperation.
Referring to the recently concluded TD Mahanadu, Naidu said more than 24.5 lakh people participated in it through the hybrid format. The event, he said, reflected the party’s organisational strength and highlighted the responsibility of cadres in the run-up to future election exercises.
In a major organisational initiative, the CM announced a 45-day statewide door-to-door outreach campaign beginning on June 25. The programme will feature bicycle-based public interaction across AP, with Naidu himself taking part.
The campaign aims to showcase the achievements of the governments at the Centre and in the state, including welfare initiatives, infrastructure development, restoration of key projects, investment mobilisation, governance reforms and employment generation.
Calling on elected representatives to remain closely connected with the people, Naidu urged party leaders to focus on development, good governance, integrity and public trust. Sustained grassroots engagement, strong leadership and organisational discipline would be crucial for maintaining electoral success and meeting future political challenges.
He urged party workers to remain vigilant, organised and proactive in both voter enrolment efforts and public outreach programmes across Andhra Pradesh.
