Vijayawada: Chief Minister and TDP president N Chandrababu Naidu has directed party leaders and legislators to remain vigilant and actively participate in the voter verification exercise to strengthen the party's electoral base.
Focus on Expanding Electoral Success
Addressing a workshop on the ongoing Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls at the TDP central office on Tuesday, Naidu emphasized the need for the party to expand the number of constituencies where it enjoys sustained electoral success. He cited examples such as Hindupur and Kuppam, where the TDP has consistently won since its inception, and urged party leaders to add more constituencies to that category.
Call for Performance and Public Trust
Urging first-time legislators not to remain one-term MLAs, Naidu stressed the importance of working towards repeated victories through performance and public trust. He stated that votes are earned through development and good governance, while the conduct of public representatives can either increase or reduce public support. "Even if a leader works extensively for the people, failure to exercise restraint in public conduct can cause political damage," he said, adding that character and trust are vital for everyone in the party, from grassroots workers to senior leaders.
NDA Government's Recruitment Drive
Referring to the NDA government's mega DSC recruitment drive, Naidu said the administration fulfilled its election promise by launching the recruitment process immediately after assuming office. He alleged that 241 cases were filed to stall the exercise, but the government overcame legal hurdles and completed the recruitment process in a transparent manner.
Active Participation in SIR Process
Naidu called upon party leaders to ensure that no mistakes occur, either knowingly or unknowingly, and to maintain close engagement with people as the SIR process progresses. "Knock on every door in your constituencies to ascertain and ensure that names of genuine voters are not missing from the lists. All MPs, MLAs, and party activists should be very active to make the SIR process successful. All party leaders should trek on e-bicycle to make 'cycle' (TDP election symbol) strong," the chief minister said, while expressing his displeasure over legislators who abstained from Tuesday's meeting.
