Ex-Chief Election Commissioner Navin Chawla meets Coimbatore Collector
Navin B. Chawla, former Chief Election Commissioner of India, met Coimbatore Collector Kranthi Kumar Pati on Wednesday and presented a copy of his book Every Vote Counts: The Story of India’s Elections. Later, he wrote to Mr. Pati pointing out that election staff were often reluctant to approach those areas where ex-leprosy patients had settled. He sought for measures to sensitise the staff that ex-leprosy patients cannot transmit the disease and they have nothing to fear.
No room for complacency till counting is completed, Chandrababu Naidu tells TDP-BJP-JSP contestants. The TDP-BJP-JSP alliance will register a comfortable victory in the general elections over the YSRCP, he says. Alleging that the YSRCP has conspired to create disturbances on the counting day, the TDP national president advises the chief counting agents and their teams to see to it that the officials adhere to norms related to counting.
