HYDERABAD: A major controversy was created during the presidential election on Monday when word spread that Congress MLA from Telangana, Danasari Anasuya alias Seethakka, had mistakenly voted for NDA candidate Droupadi Murmu instead of the joint opposition nominee, Yashwant Sinha.
Seethakka, who is an Adivasi MLA from Mulugu, an ST reserved constituency, however, clarified that this was not correct. She claimed that she found ink had spilled on the ballot paper. She immediately asked the presiding officer for another ballot for casting her vote again.
