Andhra Pradesh: Names of eligible people being removed from voters’ list, alleges BJP

The names of the eligible voters are being removed from the voters’ list in the Visakhapatnam Parliamentary Constituency, and this is a very serious issue, alleges BJP Rajya Sabha member G.V. L. Narasimha Rao.

Addressing the media here on Wednesday, Mr. Narasimha Rao said that about 20 organisations representing the people who had settled down in the city from States such as Bihar, Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan, and organisations representing communities such as Jains and Anglo Indians had approached him and complained that their names had been removed from the voters’ list.

“The number of such persons is 50,000 as of now. They have been removed from the voters’ list as the ruling YSRCP believes that they are not potential voters of the party,” said Mr. Narasimha Rao.
