# Congress pushes electoral roll revision in Telangana ahead of polls 2026-08-20T04:16:21+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet The Congress party held a District Political Affairs Committee meeting in Nizamabad on Thursday to accelerate the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls and strengthen grassroots organisation ahead of the upcoming elections. DCC President Katipally Nagesh Reddy chaired the meeting, with State Government Advisor and Bodhan MLA P. Sudarshan Reddy as the chief guest. Sudarshan Reddy urged Booth Level Agents to achieve nearly 100 per cent coverage in the SIR process, ensuring every eligible voter is enrolled and no genuine voter is omitted. He called on party leaders to set aside differences, work in coordination, and effectively communicate state welfare schemes to the public. He expressed confidence that united efforts would secure victory in the forthcoming elections and promised recognition for sincere workers. ## Indian Opinion Analysis The SIR drive is a routine Election Commission exercise, but Congress is using it to rebuild its booth-level machinery after years of BJP and BRS dominance in Telangana. The party won the state in 2023 on welfare promises, now it must convert beneficiaries into voters. The real test is whether BLAs can enrol new voters without inflating rolls, and whether factional leaders in Nizamabad district will actually coordinate. The next key date is the publication of the final electoral roll, expected within two months. ## Coverage - thehansindia.com The report is a straightforward account of a party meeting with no critical or favourable framing.
