MANY STALWARTS MAY FAIL TO CAST VOTE

ALLAHABAD (TIP): The dilemma of not being able to vote is being faced by many stalwarts in 2014 general elections. Prominent leaders like Narendra Modi, Rahul Gandhi, Arvind Kejriwal, Mulayam Singh Yadav, Murli Manohar Joshi and many others will not be able to vote for themselves.

Foremost among them will be the BJP‘s Prime Ministerial candidate Narendra Modi, who is contesting from Varanasi but enrolled as voter in Ahmedabad. Thus, he will not be able to cast his vote for himself from either of the two seats he is contesting.

Likewise, AICC vice-president and undeclared PM nominee of Congress, Rahul Gandhi and his mother Sonia Gandhi cannot cast their votes as both of them are enrolled as voters in Delhi but contesting from Amethi and Rae Bareli respectively.
