MCD election: Several voters at a polling booth in West Patel Nagar claim they have been roaming for hours in search of the booth where they were supposed to cast their vote, only to be refused and guided to another room.
Angry and frustrated voters have alleged gross mismanagement in the conduct of polls for the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD). Several voters at a polling booth in West Patel Nagar claimed they have been roaming for hours in search of the booth where they were supposed to cast their vote, only to be refused and guided to another room.
"I have been roaming with my child for over an hour, but still not getting a booth to vote. I am being directed to different booths. My wife cast her vote, but I couldn't. No one knows where to vote," says Kalu Ram, a voter.
Another woman, who faced a similar situation, said more than 20 members of her family had come to cast their vote, but most of them returned after not being able to locate their booth.
"We have been roaming for two hours. We are being sent to different rooms only to be told we can't cast our votes there," says a woman. "How will we vote if we can't find where to cast our votes?"
