The Communist Party of India (CPI) has alleged that names of voters have been deleted in an irregular manner during the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in Andhra Pradesh. The party has flagged the issue as a matter of concern for the fairness of the electoral process in the state.
According to the CPI, the deletions could potentially disenfranchise a significant number of genuine voters if not addressed promptly. The party has called for a thorough verification of the lists to ensure that eligible citizens are not removed without proper notice or due procedure.
