Congress, BJP Spar Over NOTA On Polling Day In Indore

Dismissing the allegation, the BJP said the Congress was talking "nonsense" to hide its failure after its candidate withdrew from the fray.

The Congress accused the ruling BJP government in Madhya Pradesh of stopping it from publicising the None Of The Above (NOTA) option in Indore, where polling was held on Monday in the fourth and final phase of the general elections in the state.

Dismissing the allegation, the BJP said the Congress was talking "nonsense" to hide its failure after its candidate withdrew from the fray.

The Congress campaign focussed on asking voters to press the NOTA option in the EVMs after its nominee, Akshay Kanti Bam, withdrew from the fray and joined the BJP.
