Top 7 tweets on Varanasi fake voters, media’s silence

1

NEW DELHI: Following the disclosure of more than three lakh voters found to be fake in the Varanasi parliamentary constituency by Election Commission officials, many people expressed their outbursts on micro-blogging site Twitter since a day.

Even as the administration apprehends the number of fake voters may rise up to 6.5 lakh, the media has come under severe criticism for not taking up the issue as seriously as it deserves. Here are some quotes picked from Twitter on Wednesday.

Clarification:

It has come to light that the information published on a section of media including mainstream newspapers that over three lakhs fake voters were registered in Varanasi was incorrect. The district administration has clarified that the number of fake voters was 23,664.
The report published on PollUpdates was based on media reports which was also clearly mentioned in the article. PollUpdates believes in providing honest and accurate information without any bias. We regret the incorrect information provided in the article even though it had quoted media reports. Our sole intention was to highlight failure of the machinery in conducting a free and fair election, and was not intended to favour any political party.
