If you receive a call from girls informing that they are from a University studying in the Department of Political Science and ask you to take a political survey as part of their project work, you should be cautious.
With the Telangana Police Department's inquiry into personal data leakage, it is clear that a political party has disclosed all the data about the voters, including their Aadhar and mobile phone numbers.
With the mobile number in hand, a team from that political party is conducting a survey claiming themselves as students from Hyderabad Osmania University and other universities.
In the survey, they will ask you questions like how satisfied you are with the current Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh and who do you prefer as your next Chief Minister?
If they feel that you will not vote for the party for which they are working, the data will be transmitted their bosses who work to erase your vote.
Many people from Andhra Pradesh are receiving these calls from the last few months.
A YSRC leader also received calls on behalf of students from Osmania University and he has asked them about the details of the projects. But he did not answer any of the questions put by the lady in the name of a survey for her college project.
Similarly, many of AP voters are receiving these calls.
