Drunk Voter Swallows Ballot in Jagtial

A 72-year-old man named Venkataiah went to vote in his village in Jagtial district.

He was drunk and, instead of putting his ballot paper in the box, he chewed and swallowed it.

The polling staff saw what he did and stopped him.

He was then taken to the police.

This unusual incident happened during the panchayat elections and many people talked about it on social media.

Meanwhile, in another part of the district, a daughter backed by the Congress defeated her mother, who was supported by the BRS, in a panchayat election.

There were also other interesting events, like voters boycotting polls and a wife and husband being elected as sarpanch and upa sarpanch.
