Yogi Adityanath Orders Full Focus On SIR Drive Across Uttar Pradesh

New Delhi: Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has directed party workers to place the ongoing Special Intensive Revision of voter lists at the very top of their organisational agenda. Addressing legislators and senior functionaries during a meeting in Gorakhpur, he urged them to dedicate the entire upcoming month to ensuring complete and error-free participation in the exercise.
He called for a ground-level outreach effort, asking workers in every booth to visit households and identify who has submitted the required SIR forms and who still needs assistance. The chief minister stressed that widespread awareness campaigns must be organised across all districts, with senior workers assigned clear responsibilities to streamline the process.
A significant part of his message focused on tracking voter mobility. He highlighted the need to verify the status of families that have shifted to new locations, as well as individuals who have migrated into Gorakhpur for work. Special attention was directed toward newly married women whose names may have been removed from lists at their previous addresses and need to be added at their new residences.
He instructed district presidents to form teams of ten workers at every booth, ensuring equal participation from men and women to better reach voters. These teams are expected to remain active throughout the revision period and support residents with form submissions and corrections.
Addressing legislators, he emphasised strict booth-level monitoring and urged them to stay in constant communication with local workers. He also highlighted the importance of addressing notices issued during the claims and objections stage and ensuring that rural areas receive the same level of attention as urban centres.
He cautioned workers not to take opposition criticism lightly, noting that other groups are fully active on the ground. He urged the party organisation to match that intensity, ensuring that all eligible voters are included and no inaccurate entries remain.
The meeting saw the participation of ministers, regional leaders, party office-bearers and convenors overseeing the revision drive, marking a coordinated effort to strengthen the accuracy and integrity of the electoral rolls across the region.
