Thane elections: Paramilitary required at Nalasopara
Paramilitary forces had to be called in at Gass in Nalasopara following allegations that MLA Hitendra Thakur loyalist Kashinath Patil was threatening voters.
In Vasai, candidates alleged that EVMs were not functioning properly. As a result, they alleged that all votes were going to a particular candidate.
Jalpet, a village in Vasai, recorded a 100% turnout.
IMO: Maybe such matters should be investigated and corrected. It is well known about the effect of the 'hanging chads' etc in Florida, which, some say, led to very wide consequences for the USA, and indeed to the world through refusal to deal adequately with global warming in USA. And, we do not want Thane to be thought of as "India's Kabul".
(Someone said: India would be a much better place if positive, modern-thinking reformers who have worked hard - like Vivek Pandit - get a fair chance. But always, the backward-looking and greedy seem to benefit, often by force, lies and corruption, and threatening people who will not vote for them).
