A section of voters here chose to exercise the newly-introduced ‘None Of The Above Option’ (NOTA) option on Wednesday saying they have ‘little expectations’ from any of the political parties engaged in the electoral battle.
‘This election has given us a unique opportunity of pressing the NOTA button,’ said Arvind Tyagi who listed a host of problems faced by his colony in Vikaspuri in west Delhi.
Echoing his views, a voter who did not wish to be identified said that the NOTA option should have been introduced long ago as the ‘Constitution has guaranteed everyone to exercise their rights’.
The apex court had given the path-breaking verdict this September, holding voters have a right to reject all candidates contesting polls in a constituency by pressing NOTA.
