Lok Sabha Polls 2024: Not A Single Vote Cast In Three Gujarat Villages; Know Why

New Delhi: Around a thousand voters from across three villages in Gujarat boycotted voting for the Lok Sabha polls on Tuesday, while those in as many other villages partially stayed away from the process over their unfulfilled demands from the government..

The Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) said that as per the preliminary information, the voters of Kesar village in Bharuch district, Sanadhara in Surat district and Bhakhari in Banaskantha district completely boycotted voting. Voters at Bhatgam village in Junagadh district, and Bodoli and Kunjara villages in Mahisagar district boycotted it partially, PTI reported.

Sanadhara village falls under the Bardoli Lok Sabha seat and has 320 voters.

As per the Election Commission report, none of the 320 voters cast their votes over certain outstanding issues even as the local poll administration and representatives of political parties tried to persuade them to come out and exercise their franchise.

Around 300 voters in Bakhri village which falls under the Patan parliamentary constituency also decided to collectively boycott voting in protest against the division of their gram panchayat.  Poll preparations were made since early morning, but the villagers did not turn up for voting even as polling officers kept waiting. Villagers are aggrieved over the division of their gram panchayat, they said, the news agency reported.

Not a single voter out fo the 350 in Kesar village of Bharuch district cast their vote.
