The Telugu Desam Party (TDP) delegation met with the Election Commission of India (ECI) to propose several measures aimed at strengthening electoral roll management and enhancing transparency in the electoral process. Led by State President Palla Srinivasa Rao, the delegation presented seven suggestions and observations gathered from party members and grassroots workers. Key recommendations include initiating the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) process early in Andhra Pradesh, conducting annual third-party audits of electoral rolls under the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) to identify anomalies, and ensuring that any deletion of voters from the rolls is based on a reasoned order with procedural clarity and safeguards to prevent wrongful removals. TDP MP Lavu Sri Krishna Devarayalu formally communicated these proposals in a letter to Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. The party's suggestions align with broader concerns raised by opposition groups regarding electoral roll revisions, particularly in poll-bound states like Bihar. The interaction took place at Nirvachan Sadan, New Delhi, with the presence of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar and Election Commissioners Dr. Sukhbir Singh Sandhu and Dr. Vivek Joshi. Meanwhile, TDP Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu was reported to be in Delhi meeting key Union Ministers, indicating the party's active engagement on electoral issues at multiple levels.
