gattaca Posted April 30, 2014 Posted April 30, 2014 The election authorities have ordered a probe against TDP chief N Chandrababu Naidu, who did not maintain secrecy after casting his vote here Wednesday, and indicated the vote may be deleted. Chief electoral officer Bhanwarlal said he had directed the returning officer of Khairatabad assembly constituency to submit a report. The Telugu Desam Party (TDP) chief told reporters that he cast his vote for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). "Under the alliance with the BJP, we cast both the votes (for assembly and Lok Sabha seats) for the lotus," the former chief minister said after he, his wife, son and daughter-in-law polled their votes at Jubliee Hills, which falls under Khairatabad constituency, a part of Secunderabad Lok Sabha constituency. When a reporter asked Bhanwarlal about this, he said the vote will be deleted after receiving a report from the polling officer. "Secrecy of vote has to be maintained whoever may be the great person. Every voter has to maintain secrecy as it comes under the conduct of elections rules," he said. The Election Commission in New Delhi Wednesday directed Gujarat authorities to lodge a police complaint against BJP's prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi for displaying a paper lotus near a polling booth in Gandhinagar, thus violating the Model Code of Conduct. http://www.dnaindia.com/india/report-chandrababu-naidu-may-see-his-vote-deleted-for-not-maintaining-secrecy-1983695 This guy was CM for Ap for 2 terms and was a minister in congress.

Malcolm Merlyn Posted April 30, 2014 Posted April 30, 2014 Naidu should challenge this in court.He has every right to reveal his own vote.
bulbul Posted April 30, 2014 Posted April 30, 2014 What if CBN voted for someone else in reality? Also what is this nonsense of deleting votes?
yoda Posted April 30, 2014 Posted April 30, 2014 India is becoming an autocratic country, can't do this, can't say that. WTF. If we are a true democracy, there needs to be freedom of speech to at least say what you did. How the feck does it matter who someone says they voted for? Yes, secrecy of ballot must be protected, but if an individual decides to reveal their own selection, what is the problem?
urbestfriend Posted April 30, 2014 Posted April 30, 2014 :WTF: If this is true, all ICFers vote should also be deleted.
