Mangalore: Students prevented from voting, BJP-Congress clash

Mangalore, May 5: Though the polling to the Assembly elections on Sunday May 5 has been largely peaceful throughout the day, chaos broke out at Capitanio here BJP workers reportedly prevented a few students from voting.

It is said that students residing at a hostel in Kankanady had come to vote at Capitanio polling booth. But before they could cast their vote, they were allegedly stopped by BJP workers who claimed that the students were not from the city and were voters in their hometowns, and not here.

However, it was found that the names of the students were enlisted in the voters' list at Capitanio.

At the same time, Congress workers too arrived at the spot and an argument arose between the two groups, leading to a minor clash.

Police rushed to the spot and BSF personnel and other paramilitary forces also intervened as the matter seemed to be getting out of control.

Congress leaders including candidate J R Lobo urged the police to provide protection to the voters and especially to the students who had to face problems. However, the police said they could not as it was not in their hands.

A teacher hailing from Teerthahalli who came to vote also had to face problems as she was reportedly stopped by the BJP workers who claimed that she was not a voter at Capitanio. However, her name too was in the voter's list here. Dejected, she returned home without voting, with tears in her eyes.

The students' group went back without voting.

Though the mob was chased away by the police, tight security has been deployed at the spot.

    @Avinash, Kasaragod/Bangalore: Without knowledge why are u commenting on voting rights of those student? Have some knowledge b4 ping comment FYI read this carefully: from Roshan, Mangalore: ‘’ The rule in India is that, whenever you stay in any place for a period for more than six months, you become the native and voter of that new place. And Election Commission has brought out a special format only for hostels, to encourage the enrollment of their names in voters list. For students also this voters id is most important because based on this they can buy train tickets, mobile sim's, internet browsing permission in cyber centers etc. Most of us do not know this provision. So hostel students enrolling and voting is fully legal and rightful. Preventing someone forcefully from voting is a criminal offence.’’
    And also I personally notified by our local gram panchayath member that I am not eligible to vote In my native, he told me to cast my vote where I am residing currently….
    I agree with u for Kolar incident… Unlike Mangalore police, Kolar police have arrested one of the accuse (Kumar) & also warned those culprits to response immediately….

    This is nothing. BJP had a valid point coz those students were from Kerala and hence they will have voting power there in their state not in Karnataka.

    Hope you have seen the pics of your well mannered Congi leaders at Kolar where they openly walked on the road with Talwar etc.. What do you say about that ??

    Dear Citizens of India, please note one can get an Indian Passport on a temporary address as well as a Voters Id. Mere stay for 6 moths or more in a different are from your native is sufficient to get these documents provided they are able to get two witnesses from the locality. This is our Government which overlooks national safety. This mechanism is easy for anti-social persons to hide even run away from this country.

    Dear Raj Shetty, Being an educated, I think you have not understood the constitution correctly. Today democracy is becoming so widespread and popular that discussions are going on worldwide that NRIs like you also should vote.And plans are being chalked out to provide voting facility through embassys. Law in India is that if you stay(reside) for six months in any town or city or village you can become voter there. Even BJP party workers have enrolled voters in many hostels. And they are preventing only those students they suspect as Congress Voters.

    Jeevan, better believe that BJP has been intruded and infested by semi literal youths who only knows to flex their muscles to the weaker section of the Society and they have been fed and fattened by Literate and cleanly dressed Sanh Parivar Leaders, any doubt. The way they were acting really shows their desperation of forth coming defeat. More over BLO Thirthavathi Madam (known BJP supporter) was not allowing these students to Vote, even though their Name is on the Voter List and Election Commission has issued them an Election ID.

    Also the local 3 times defeated Corporator Madam was remarking their Door No. doesn't fall in Capitanio School 145 Booth, adding more fuel to the fire. My question is if their names are figuring in Booth no. 145 instead of Booth no. 113 Kankanady St. Joseph School, who's at Fault???? Morning too BJP Sangh Parivar sene created ruckus when the old people from the local old age home were brought in. They were made to walk more than 100 mtrs, seeing their plight a local youth literally lifted the old Lady and helped her to cast Vote. Police too were acting as mute spectator and taken their side. A cadre from Sangh Parivar rushed to the Congress Polling assisting Booth and literally thrown the Voters List to the Road calling bad names. The issue was diffused by level headed people who were present there in the Booth. I end my comment telling you that the proverb “Anthy kaal mei Vipareeth Buddhi”

    You are right. I observed that in so many hostels they distributed different voter id for students to vote.Carrying two voters id is illegal. But this time some political parties helped in distributing voters id. The electoral board should look it into it.As we know voting in twice in differnt place illegal and crime.Electoral commission put these people behind the bars and responsible persons too.

    In late evening I met few of the friends of the students who were prevented from Voting. One more very interesting and dangerous news I got from them. That the Lady BLO who was sitting outside the booth to issue epic slips was troubling and harazzing students and insulting them saying "you are keralites". This lady government officer was acting as if she is BJP s agent. She had refused earlier to give epic slips to three of the students on the same grounds and students had come back to hostel weeping.My request with Election Commission Officers to visit the hostel, find out the culprits including this lady BLO and file a case against them The court may Pseu moto take up the enquiry in this matter because voting is the right of every citizen

    It is very unfortunate to hear that BJP tried to prevent voting at at least 2 booths - Capitanio and Bendur. This clearly shows BJP's fear as well as its divisive ways. India is a free country and when you enrol to vote in another part of the country you lose the right to vote where you registered first. So these students are of course eligible to vote in Mangalore. Again, the mindset of BJP workers is negative and shows cunning ways to win an election. Sad day for democracy!

    I have the information that BJP goons including infamous Bajarang Dal don from Pumpwell had created real terror and the students fearing had gone back and were not ready to come back for voting. They even snatched the Identity cards from these students.

    But full police force was deployed and most of these students came back at the end of polling and voted.

    So nothing to worry. Mr. Lobo will be next MLA from Mangalore South.

    This is the 'beginning of the end' as far as BJP is concerned. BJP was successful in fooling voters all these years but they will NOT BE ABLE TO FOOL us all the times.

    If Mangalore-Udupi must Prosper and become world class cities...BJP's mob culture along with radical idealogy should and must be eliminated from Coastal KA.

    BJP has become synomymous with immoral policing, attacks, communal hatred, lethargy and inefficiency.

    Shame on BJP. If Police cannot provide protection to the voters then why they are the there on duty.? only for show off the police force.?

    Police are paid by the voters tax paid money and the same police are refusing to provide protection the voters.

    This is the same thing happened durign the church attacks. This communal BJP is the main culprit for all these and police are working like they are paid by BJP.

    shame on Indian politics.

    Let us see what BJP will achieve in this election with all these drama.

    One person can vote at one time and the place of voting has been approved by the officials.

    Who are these BJP goons to stop voting of citizens which has been officially approved. This shows BJP is party which will go to any extent. Shame to BJP.

    Dear Reshmi & Alan, this is not the true face of BJP. This is the ugly face of Congis in our State as well as in India

    Dear Sachidanand Shetty, Mundkur/Dubai. If not mistaken, u are sitting in comfort zone without the real ground reality.

    Until BJP came to power in Karnataka, even I had the same opinion. But all these opinion had gone. The BJP/workers what I have seen in late 1980, some have already gone for eternal bliss, were different than today. They were more cultured and were always sacrificial. Today we find majority of the BJP workers drink and lack ethics. Same workers will be out of control and days won't be far away they will go against their own party. Watch out. Thou u sow,thou one will reap.

    Sandesh Shetty..but they had proper proof.And by the way, who are these BJP goons to stop anybody from voting? Who gave them the power to stop anybody from voting? No wonder. Moral of the story: This communal government has to go and should never come to power in Karnataka.
    Sachidanand Shetty..You are sitting in Dubai and writing about Mangalore. We know what is happening here and you don't have to justify the goons. For me, if somebody is wrong then he is wrong. I appreciate the good work and condemn the bad work. That is my nature. I don't have to follow the wrong doers who are social evil in the society. BJP is trying every hook and crook method to gain power again. This is evident from recent incidents in Mangalore. BJP has lost moral right to rule the state as it has failed to safeguard people. It is our mistake that we brought BJP to power last time and we pledge that we don't commit the same mistake again.
