Will Take Action: Uttarakhand Congress On Cross Voting In President Poll
NDTV
Though the presidential election is conducted through secret ballot, efforts will be made to find out who cross voted and who were involved in it, senior party leader said.
The Congress high command has taken a serious note of a party MLA in Uttarakhand cross voting in favour of Droupadi Murmu in the presidential election, a party leader said on Saturday.
"It is a very serious matter, unfortunate too. One member cross voted and the vote of another was declared invalid. Going against the party's directions is going against the party leadership. It is unpardonable...an act of treachery," Leader of Opposition in Uttarakhand Assembly Yashpal Arya said at a press conference here.
The AICC in-charge of the Uttarakhand Congress has been apprised of the matter, he said.
"We will definitely take action against whoever has done it," Mr Arya said.
