A delegation of the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) led by its State president K. Atchannaidu once again met Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) Mukesh Kumar Meena at the Secretariat on November 8 (Wednesday), and complained to him about the “large-scale discrepancies in voter lists.”
Addressing the media later, Mr. Atchannaidu said the fact that about 11 lakh applications [Form-6 (enrolment of new voters), Form-7 (objections for proposed inclusion/deletion of names in existing electoral rolls) and Form-8 (corrections to particulars of persons entered in electoral rolls)] were pending with the Election Commission for disposal was taken to the CEO’s notice, and he promised to inquire into it and take necessary action.
Mr. Atchannaidu said the office of the CEO was promptly communicating the “irregularities” to the District Collectors, but they were apparently not acting upon the complaints.
