EC Should Start SIR in Andhra Quickly as Every Vote Counts
The New Indian Express Kochi
|July 29, 2025
The ruling NDA's ally and Telugu Desam Party (TDP) Lok Sabha leader Lavu Sri Krishna Devarayalu tells Preetha Nair that the Election Commission should start the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of the electoral rolls in Andhra Pradesh as early as possible so that every voter can be counted on.
-
Excerpts:
TDP has approached EC with certain recommendations.
The opposition is trying to build a narrative on the ground against the ongoing SIR in Bihar on several counts. Our party is against it. That's the reason the TDP approached the EC and presented suggestions about Andhra Pradesh. We are not talking about Bihar, Andaman, or Tamil Nadu. Our focus is clearly on Andhra Pradesh. We told them that we had elections a year back, and the next election is due only in 2029. We have four years in hand. Since the EC has made it clear that SIR will be conducted across the country, we asked them to start the process in Andhra as early as possible.
But Bihar got very little time to do the exercise.
We haven't mentioned Bihar in our letter to the EC.
What are the other concerns?

AWESOME TWOSOME IN FEARLESS FILMMAKING
PARNA Sen’s 36 Chowringhee Lane (1981) was a landmark in my formative years as a film buff. I am not sure where I watched it. But what has stayed with me till date are Jennifer Kendal’s eloquent presence as the quiet and secluded Anglo-Indian teacher Violet Stoneham, and Ashok Mehta’s camera that captures the many shades of loss and solitude that imbue the film, and the textures of a fading world it is set in. It was about underscoring the tenuousness of a community as well as the vulnerability of an individual.
