Chennai, March 10 : The Election Commission decision to provide postal ballot facility for senior citizens above 80 years of age has invited stringent opposition from political parties like the DMK, MDMK, MNM and the Congress.
The opposition parties are wary that in several constituencies of the state, the victory margin was thin and if senior citizens above the age of 80 years are provided postal ballot facility, it could lead to malpractices.
M Muthuswamy, DMK Chennai city secretary, while speaking to IANS said, “The Election Commission decision to provide postal ballot facilities for senior citizens above 80 years will possibly lead to malpractices and the administrative machinery which is in charge of the entire operation can indulge in providing support to the ruling front which has BJP as its ally.”
