New Delhi, Aug 5 (UNI) The government has said that the proposal of compulsory voting is not practical in a country like India with vast and varied geographical locations.
Minister of State for Law and Justice, Prof SP Singh Baghel, while replying to the discussion on BJP's Janardan Singh Sigriwal's personal bill for compulsory voting in the Lok Sabha, said that the MLA talked about a system of fine of 500 rupees for not voting compulsorily.
Demanding Sigriwal to withdraw the bill, he said that in the present circumstances, it seems less practical for all people to vote compulsorily.
