Presidential election marred by cross-voting charges

Deccan Chronicle  

New Delhi: Amid claims and speculation over cross-voting, legislators across the country on Monday voted to elect the 16th President of India. “I am a Congress MLA but I have voted for NDA’s presidential candidate Droupadi Murmu. However, Chhattisgarh Mahila Congress in-charge Danasari Anasuya cleared air on cross-voting: “Wrong speculation is being aired about my presidential election vote. I voted for my party candidate.” The sole MLA of the Nationalist Congress Party in the Gujarat Assembly, Kandhal Jadeja, voted for BJP candidate Droupadi Murmu, a fact which he himself declared after casting his vote. Shiromani Akali Dal MLA Manpreet Singh Ayali boycotted the presidential poll, saying issues related to Punjab remain unresolved and he was not consulted by his party leadership before deciding to back NDA candidate Droupadi Murmu.
