Minister of State for Steel and Heavy Industries Bhupathiraju Srinivas Varma on Sunday launched an autorickshaw campaign at the BJP office in Bhimavaram town to create awareness among voters about the ongoing Special Intensive Review (SIR) of voters in Bhimavaram parliamentary constituency in West Godavari district.

Mr. Srinivas Varma was driving an autorickshaw in Bhimavaram and asked voters to come for the SIR exercise. BJP started the campaign with 25 autorickshaws.

“SIR will erase the votes of those who died during the ongoing review. The exercise has been successful in the states of Assam and West Bengal. SIR is a must in every state,” said Mr. Srinivas Varma. He also asked his party supporters to support the SIR exercise officials.

Voters will have until July 14 to submit their SIR application. The draft voter list will be published to allow voters to object to the state of the vote.
