Karimnagar

Union Minister Bandi Sanjay Kumar criticised Congress about the by-election in Khairatabad. During a talk with reporters in Karimnagar, he said Congress will have a hard time in the election. The seat opened up after Telangana High Court disqualified Danam Nagender for switching parties while in office.

Election situation

Political tension is high. Nagender went to Supreme Court to challenge the disqualification. BJP is getting ready for the race. Election Commission has not shared the dates for the by-election yet. Bandi Sanjay also asked why Congress leaders are visiting private farmhouses, which has started more talk in local political circles.

Voters in Karimnagar are having trouble responding to notices sent during the special electoral roll review. Many residents must go to municipal offices to explain differences between their current details and records from 2002. This is very hard for elderly people and those with disabilities who cannot travel easily for these meetings.

Reasons for notices

Common problems causing these notices include small spelling mistakes, age differences that officials find odd, and issues matching current info with 2002 records. Around 92 lakh voters across Telangana received similar notices. This has caused a lot of worry. Many voters are frustrated because these issues were not fixed during the home visits earlier.

More than 44 lakh voters in Telangana are listed as ASDD. This stands for Absent, Shifted, Dead, or Duplicate. This number will likely pass 50 lakh by August 3. Many residents worry that officials are moving too fast. Some people already found their names missing from the list before the deadline for submitting forms.

Concerns about voter list accuracy

Reports show that booth-level officers feel pressure to reach digital targets. This has led to claims of poor practice, such as filing blank forms to show higher completion numbers. Local leaders and political parties are worried that eligible voters might be removed by mistake. If you live in areas like Chandrayangutta, Karimnagar, or Bahadurpura, please check your status with your local office. This will help make sure your name stays on the voters list.

Karimnagar Commissioner Prafull Desai says 64 percent of the digital work for the Special Intensive Revision process is now done. This is a very important step for local voters. In a recent meeting with political party representatives, the Commissioner asked everyone to speed up collection of forms. Only eight days remain to finish this work.

Polling station updates

Officials are focusing on polling stations that are behind schedule. Keep an eye out for issues with shifted, untraceable, or deceased voters. Report these to authorities right away. Booth Level Officers are visiting homes to collect forms. Submit your required documents to them so your vote is counted. You can also finish registration online to help reach full coverage.

Voters in Telangana are frustrated as the Special Intensive Revision process nears its August 3 deadline. People living away from their home districts say political parties and Booth Level Agents are not helping them. Parties are usually active during campaigns, but this voter list update lacks that energy.

People living in Hyderabad but originally from places like Karimnagar and Adilabad say they got no help on how to check their names or find their officers. Some voters claim agents only help their own party supporters. Others are left to manage alone. One voter from Khammam even traveled to his village. He worried someone might remove his name from the list.

Voter list concerns

Some grassroots party workers also feel ignored by their leaders. Agents say senior politicians enjoy power while those working on the ground get little support. It is a hard time for voters. Everyone is trying to make sure their names stay on the list.

Volunteers and activists are raising concerns about a private mobile app on Google Play Store. This app shows sensitive data from Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls, including details of voter forms.

M.A. Mujeeb, an activist from Karimnagar, said that citizens are worried about seeing their data on this platform. There is confusion about whether the app is official or if it puts voter privacy at risk. Data privacy expert S.Q. Masood asked Election Commission of India to look into this and provide clarity.

Concerns about data privacy

People are worried about how personal details are being used outside of official government channels. It is important to know if this data is secure or if it is being misused for reasons other than electoral roll updates.
