Hyderabad: Appealing to people to ensure their names are not deleted in the ongoing SIR, Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy has warned that “some political forces” have conspired to delete names of electors in Telangana, like in West Bengal, which witnessed the removal of names of lakhs of electors before the Assembly elections.
Participating in the “Minorities Excellence Summit”, the Chief Minister said that “some forces” were attempting to get the names of electors deleted in the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls currently underway in Telangana.
After winning West Bengal, these political forces were targeting Telangana, the Chief Minister said.
He had previously made it clear that the Congress will not let the deletion of names of electors happen in Telangana.
Revanth Reddy urged the Congress cadre to visit every household and check everyone's vote, ensuring that not a single eligible person loses their right to vote. “Everyone must become a Revanth Reddy and safeguard the right to vote,” he observed.
The Chief Minister levelled criticism at the Bharat Rashtra Samithi government, mocking the previous administration for its failure to conduct Group-1 examinations.
He alleged that an RMP doctor had been appointed as a member of the Telengana Public Service Commission (TGPSC). Revanth said his government had overhauled the TGPSC and conducted the Group-1 examinations in a transparent manner.
Stating that Hindu and Muslims were two eyes for him, Revanth Reddy pointed out that Union Home Minister Amit Shah had declared that the BJP, should it come to power in TG, would remove the four per cent reservation for minorities.
The Chief Minister has already challenged the BJP to first remove Muslim quota in Gujarat.
The Chief Minister claimed that the credit for implementing four per cent reservation for minorities goes to the Congress party. Listing out the welfare and developmental programmes meant for the minority community,
Revanth Reddy emphasised that minority youth should acquire skills alongside their education to grab the numerous job opportunities in Germany and Japan. The state government has already established a Skills University to enhance the skills of students, he pointed out.
