Rectify mistakes in division formation, demands TDP

Karimnagar: Telugu Desam Party city unit president Kalyadapu Agaiah demanded the government rectification of the mistakes that occurred in the formation of divisions and BC, SC, ST and Minorities voters' list under Karimnagar Municipal Corporation limits.

TDP leaders staged a dharna in front of the Municipal office here on Monday in protest against the irregularities that took place during the formation of new divisions under KMC.

Speaking on the occasion, K Agaiah criticised the carrying of divisions' formation unscientifically and alleged that the ruling TRS intentionally did the division formation in support to it by exerting pressure on the officials so that it can win easily the coming up municipal polls.

Earlier there were 50 divisions and now the government increased its number to 60 for its favour. Moreover, the officials did not follow correct system in preparing of voters' list of people belonging to Backward Class, Scheduled Caste, Scheduled Tribe and Minority categories.

Because of the mistakes in the voters' list, many people belonging to different categories have lost the opportunity to content in the elections. Lot of injustice is being done to the people of various sections, he criticised.

Agaiah demanded that the government must take immediate steps to rectify the mistakes that occurred, otherwise they would intensify the agitation to teach the government a fitting lesson, he warned.

Later, TDP leaders submitted a memorandum to City Municipal Commissioner G Venu Gopal Reddy.

TDP leaders A Venkataiah, S Rajesham, Ravinder, Srinivas, S Muniraj, E Vineeth, V Laxman Rao, Sd Javed, D Satyam, B Karunakar Reddy, Shravan Kumar, Hayagreeva Chary, SK Ahmed, Laxman, Uday Bhaskar, Rameshwar Reddy, and Wajeed Khan were present along with others.
