YSRCP MLA Vasupalli Alleges Conspiracy To Remove Voters During Roll Revision Drive

Former YSRCP MLA Vasupalli Ganesh Kumar has expressed concerns over the ongoing Special Summary Revision (SSR) of electoral rolls in the Visakhapatnam South Assembly constituency, alleging that the process could be misused for political gains.

Speaking during visits to Wards 27, 31 and 35 in the constituency, Ganesh Kumar claimed that the ruling coalition was attempting to influence the voter verification exercise through the use of the My TDP app , with the objective of removing voters perceived to be unsympathetic to the government. He alleged that members of certain social groups were being specifically targeted during the revision process.

The former legislator said the outreach programme was aimed at creating awareness among voters and strengthening coordination between Booth Level Agents (BLAs) and Booth Level Officers (BLOs) . He urged party workers and booth-level representatives to closely monitor voter applications and verify records through door-to-door visits.

Ganesh Kumar further alleged that Form-7 , which is used for objections and deletion requests in electoral rolls, was being misused to remove the names of YSRCP supporters. He called upon booth-level committees to remain alert and prevent both the inclusion of ineligible voters and the deletion of genuine electors.

He said that complaints would be lodged with local election officials and, if necessary, with the Chief Electoral Officer of Andhra Pradesh , seeking a transparent and impartial revision process. According to him, rapid technological advancements have created opportunities for misuse, making it essential for political workers and citizens to remain vigilant.

Criticising Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu, Ganesh Kumar alleged that manipulation of administrative systems had become a recurring concern under his leadership. Referring to the period before the 2019 elections, he claimed that YSRCP had earlier approached the Election Commission of India over the alleged deletion of millions of voter names.

He also questioned the basis of the current revision exercise, claiming that electoral records dating back to 2002 were being used as reference points. Reiterating his demand for transparency, he said any irregularities detected during the process would be formally brought to the attention of election authorities.
