In a major reprieve to the Congress, the Election Commission tonight rejected the votes cast by its two MLAs for violating the “secrecy of ballots” in the Gujarat Rajya Sabha elections.
The Commission also asked the returning officer for the polls to segregate the two ballots cast by Bhola Bhai Gohil and Raghavji Bhai Patel and proceed with the counting.
The order said that while going throgh the video footage of the polling process, it found that the two had violated the secrecy of ballots.
