Naidu likely to visit Delhi to complain to CEC on anomalies' in electoral rolls

Vijayawada: Telugu Desam chief Nara Chandrababu Naidu is likely to meet the Chief Election Commissioner in New Delhi on August  28 to lodge a complaint on the “illegal deletion of names of voters” from the electoral rolls in AP.

Telugu Desam sources say that Naidu is responding to a series of complaints from the party leaders from several districts on deletion of names of party supporters from the electoral rolls. Naidu would meet the CEC and submit details of how such names were getting deleted and also how bogus voters with fake door numbers and addresses were being enrolled as by the ruling party.

The TD chief would ask the CEC to correct the anomalies and initiate action against the officials who resorted to motivated deletion of names.

Notably, two officials had been suspended following anomalies in the voters’ list at Uravakonda in Anantapur district. Complaints were also lodged with the CEC earlier on alleged deletion of voters by Visakhapatnam East MLA Velagapudi Ramakrishna, Parchuru MLA Yeluri Sambasiva Rao and others.

 Meanwhile, local TD leaders lodged complaints with CEC on lapses in electoral rolls in places like Kuppam, Tirupati and Chandragiri segments.
