CPI(M) State secretary V. Srinivas Rao has demanded to strictly implement the guidelines of the Election Commission of India (ECI) in keeping volunteers away from the election process in the State.
“As per the instructions of the ECI, volunteers should not be used for election campaign, duties or any other related works, but the orders were not being implemented strictly,” Mr. Srinivas Rao said on Saturday.
He wrote a letter to the A.P. Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) to take measures to stop volunteers from participating in election process.
Leaders of some parties were giving the voters lists to the volunteers and were trying to woo the voters, Mr. Srinivas Rao said. He also appealed to the Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) to take measures for the strict implementation of the orders of the ECI in this regard.
