The Story in Brief
BRS leaders have demanded complete transparency from the Election Commission on 73.39 lakh enumeration forms categorised as 'Uncollectable' during the Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls in Telangana. The party questioned the classification of over 45 lakh electors as 'Permanently Shifted' and 11 lakh as 'Absent/Untraceable'.
BRS submitted a representation seeking constituency-wise data and the methodology used by Booth Level Officers. The party warned that no genuine elector should lose registration based solely on uncollected forms.
The Indian Opinion
The BRS demand is reasonable: 21.7 per cent forms being uncollectable is alarming. But the party should also acknowledge that some electors do shift permanently. The real question is whether the Election Commission followed due process before classifying them. The test will be the final rolls, how many of these 73 lakh names are actually dropped, and whether affected voters get a fair hearing.
