Who is to be held responsible if data collected by volunteers in Andhra Pradesh is misused, asks Pawan Kalyan

Jana Sena Party (JSP) president Pawan Kalyan on July 12 (Wednesday) dared Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy to reveal who was the ‘supreme authority’ of the ward and village volunteer system in the State.

Addressing a gathering during his Varahi Yatra here, Mr. Pawan Kalyan raised several questions. “Who is to be held responsible if the data collected through the volunteer system is stolen or misused? Who is behind the operation of the Hyderabad-based Field Operation Agency (FOA) that is storing the household data of Andhra Pradesh?” he asked.

Mr. Pawan Kalyan demanded that the FOA and its association with the volunteer system in the State should be probed.
