THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Opposition leader Ramesh Chennithala said the public should come forward for the protection of democracy. A complaint should be lodged if having double votes. The culprits are the officials and not those having names in the list, said Chennithala.

The CPM created fake voters, alleged Chennithala. He said the information was made public so that everyone would know everything. The guidelines and court’s intervention cannot do anything. There must be action to vote independently. The election commission should take steps, he said.

The congress alleged that there are 4.34 lakh double votes in the state. Chennithala had yesterday revealed the details related to double voting of 140 constituencies. The documents were published in ‘Operation Twins’ website.
