YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) President Y. S. Jagan Mohan Reddy has initiated preparations for upcoming local body elections in Andhra Pradesh, criticizing the coalition government led by Chandrababu Naidu for alleged corruption and deteriorating law and order. During a high-level meeting in Tadepalli, Reddy formalized a strategy to contest every available seat in both rural and urban local bodies, including MPTC, ZPTC, Zilla Parishad, and municipal positions. He emphasized that the party will not tolerate unanimous elections, asserting that a “strong anti-incumbency sentiment exists against the current ruling coalition.”

To support this campaign, the YSRCP is launching a grassroots mobilization effort involving door-to-door outreach and the distribution of QR-coded ID cards to village-level members.

As election preparations progress, the YSRCP has shifted focus toward electoral integrity. State General Secretary and MLC Lella Appi Reddy has demanded increased transparency regarding the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of voter rolls. The party has urged the Chief Electoral Officer to provide constituency-wise and booth-wise data on voters who have been added, deleted, shifted, or recorded as deceased. 

Additionally, the YSRCP is seeking the removal of duplicate registrations and has raised concerns regarding polling-station rationalization. The party alleges that family members are being split across different booths or wards and has requested that voters from the same household be kept together. They have further demanded that details regarding new polling stations, revised booth mapping, and contact information for Booth Level Officers be made available in the public domain.
