Seethakka’s gaffe sparks cross-voting controversy
Deccan ChronicleHYDERABAD: In what comes as a major embarrassment to Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee president A. Revanth Reddy, Congress MLA Danasari Anasuya alias Seethakka, has landed in a ‘cross-voting controversy’ in the Presidential election polling held on Monday. While casting her vote for the Presidential election in the polling booth set up on the Legislative Assembly premises on Monday, Seethakka sought fresh ballot paper saying that she marked erroneously on ballot paper. But Seethakka dismissed these reports saying she marked correctly as per party's decision but since she marked erroneously on open space on ballot paper prior to her marking for candidate, she feared that her vote may become invalid and therefore sought a fresh ballot. If I had voted for NDA, why would I ask for a fresh ballot paper again and argue with the Election Commission officials in the polling booth?"
