YS Jagan urges vigilance during SIR exercise in Andhra

YSRCP chief YS Jagan Mohan Reddy has directed party coordinators and regional in-charges to maintain strict vigilance during the ongoing Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in Andhra Pradesh.

Amaravati: YSRCP chief YS Jagan Mohan Reddy on Tuesday directed constituency coordinators and regional in-charges to remain vigilant during the ongoing SIR of electoral rolls in Andhra Pradesh.

The ECI commenced the Special Intensive Revision in Andhra Pradesh on June 15, with the enumeration process scheduled to continue until July 14.

“The next four weeks are crucial for safeguarding every genuine vote. All constituency coordinators and regional in-charges must remain vigilant and closely monitor the ongoing SIR of electoral rolls,” Jagan said in a release.

The exercise, being undertaken with July 1, 2026 as the qualifying date, aims to update and verify voter details and covers nearly 4.1 crore electors across 28 districts and 175 Assembly constituencies in the state.

At a review meeting held at the party’s central office in Tadepalli with senior leaders, the former chief minister instructed party functionaries to monitor the SIR process on a daily basis and immediately report any irregularities to the election authorities.

He also asked them to escalate unresolved issues to the party headquarters without delay.

Jagan stressed that once a genuine voter’s name is deleted during the SIR process, restoring it becomes extremely difficult, making constant vigilance at the ground level essential.

Alleging that Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu was using the government machinery to remove YSRCP supporters from electoral rolls, the opposition leader claimed that efforts were being made to alter the rolls through administrative means rather than democratic processes.

He called upon constituency coordinators, Booth Level Agents (BLAs) and grassroots leaders to ensure that no genuine voter is removed from the rolls.

Describing voter protection as a key responsibility of the party organisation, Jagan urged party workers to undertake continuous field-level monitoring, conduct daily reviews and intervene promptly wherever necessary.

He further appealed to the party cadre to treat the SIR exercise as a mission to protect the democratic rights of voters and safeguard every YSRCP vote.
