Lucknow Political Desk, November 28, 2025: Taking a crucial lesson from the opposition alliance’s defeat in the recent Bihar Assembly elections, the Samajwadi Party (SP) has sharpened its focus on protecting its core voter base through the SIR (Survey/Listing/Enumeration) count form process. The party has issued strict directives to ensure that supporters do not lose voting rights due to errors or negligence while filling SIR forms.
SP leaders and grassroots workers have been mobilized to launch a door-to-door and village-to-village awareness campaign. Party workers will also assist voters directly in completing SIR enumeration forms accurately, ensuring no genuine supporter’s name is dropped from official electoral lists.
A Clear Ticket-Denial Policy Over Carelessness (Samajwadi Party Tightens SIR Strategy)
SP Chief Akhilesh Yadav has defined an unambiguous benchmark for distributing election tickets ahead of upcoming state assembly elections. According to the internal directive:
Any leader found responsible for voter names being cut due to negligence during the SIR form process will be disqualified from receiving a party ticket.
This decision indicates the party’s intent to make accountability a central pillar of candidate selection, linking electoral eligibility work with political opportunity.
Akhilesh Yadav Holds Continuous Review Meetings
Akhilesh Yadav has been actively conducting review and strategy meetings with SP workers to eliminate errors in the SIR filing process. The party fears that small mistakes while filling SIR forms could lead to the removal of names from voter rolls, potentially weakening SP’s electoral performance.
During the meetings, he emphasized:
-
Protect every supporter’s vote
-
Ensure accurate, error-free SIR form submissions
-
No ground-level lapse will be tolerated
KK Srivastava Appointed as SIR Expert at Headquarters
To streamline the SIR enumeration support system, SP has appointed KK Srivastava as an official expert at the party headquarters. Srivastava is training SP leaders from multiple districts on:
-
Correct method for filling SIR forms
-
Avoiding voter list deletion
-
Protecting SP’s core vote bank through proper documentation
His role has been described as critical to safeguarding the party’s electoral foundation before key elections.
Daily Feedback System & Complaints to Election Officials
SP is also closely monitoring SIR-related difficulties by:
-
Sending formal complaints to Election Commission authorities
-
Maintaining a daily feedback mechanism from every district
-
Monitoring irregularities or administrative hurdles in the SIR process**
Party insiders claim that SP MPs, MLAs and ticket contenders must remain present in their constituencies to personally oversee voter support and SIR form submission assistance.
Contenders Must Submit Detailed Ground Reports
The Samajwadi Party has also asked ticket aspirants to prepare daily constituency reports including:
-
Total number of SIR enumeration forms filled
-
Total number of protected/stabilized voter names
-
How many votes were prevented from being cut due to SP intervention
Key questions listed in the reporting format:
✔ How many people’s SIR forms were completed?
✔ How many voter names were secured from deletion?
A candidate’s ticket claim will now depend on these ground reports, not just seniority or influence.
A Strategic Move for Electoral Survival and Revival (Samajwadi Party Tightens SIR Strategy)
Political analysts believe that the Samajwadi Party is attempting a major organizational reform, prioritizing:
-
Vote preservation over spectacle politics
-
Groundwork over campaign rhetoric
-
Data-backed ticket selection instead of assumption-based distribution
This new strategy suggests that SP is entering an election mode driven by structure, voter security and micro-management, reflecting urgency after recent political setbacks.
