  • Madhabi latha ji, You canot check the ID card of voters. You are a candidate of bjp.But you are not representative of election commission. Your act is illegal.
  • @umairsyed7465
    The candidate doesn't have the right to check but the pooling officer has
  • such a nonsense.. appropriate actions must be taken against her.She has no rights to check anyone's id.and how rubbish justification she is giving. Such a shame
  • She is doing the publicity stunt in all sensitive matters!! The BJP would suffer for these kinds of actions!!
  • I am a Law graduate I wear face veil and when I was asked to show my face I did it. The officer was kind enough to call female officer to check but I said no problem u can check it. My Religion gives me the permission to show my face when required. Stop spreading hate. And here Madhavi Latha has no Right, no law gives a Candidate to act such way, entering the polling stations and harrasing people.
  • @ramd4392
    Dirty Mind Same as Dirty Face & also Dirty Politics 😂😂😅
  • @user-hd3jk9cg1i
    How dare she ,there are so many agencies to check this 😤
  • This woman should be kicked out of the polling booth. She doesn't have any rights to be there. Checking the ID is not her job..it's the job of the election officials. Police must arrest and remand her in prison.
  • Don't hope that any action will be taken... remember she is a bjp candidate 😊
  • @mohansagar6893
    Request all my fellow citizens.. please don't elect such people as our representative in the Parliament 🙏
  • @emjay7494
    The BJP associates are crossing their limits, let the election count starts on 4th June
  • @Dkran
    Facial identification is essential for voter verification and security check. It should have been done by the billing officials.
  • @ar.k2382
    I didn't know a candidate can also be a polling official. How can she lie that she can check the faces of the voters??? In a polling station, only the Presiding Officers and his team can check and verify a voter. What arrogance. But then...this is BJP. The laws of the country doesn't apply to their candidates.
  • @unni6306
    Canditate have no provn to ask ID card those who are on the line for voting,that is the duty and responsibility of poling officers and staffs.
  • @mayank866
    Ye kaun hoti hai? Ye kaam election officers ka hai
  • @50sherif
    WHAT LEGAL ACTION, MODI CALLED MUSLIMS OUTSIDERS AND MAN MAKING MACHINES, WHAT LEGAL ACTION FOR THAT, SANGHIS CAN TELL AND DO ANYTHING, ALL ARE LEGAL.
  • @ProudRacist111
    Definitely checking id authenticity is needed but, you are not the one to check it.
