Cash offered to voters in Tamil Nadu!!!

Lakshmi, the wife of an Inspector in Mullainagar in Madurai is relieved that polling passed off peacefully in the temple town, a departure from the usual violence and violations that it has witnessed over the years.

But the policeman's wife was still offered money by politicians in exchange for a vote. Lakshmi says she was offered upto Rs. 500 from a candidate during campaigning, which she refused to
accept.

"My neighbours say that they have all taken money. Many parties are giving as little as Rs. 100
also", she said.

Several voters, however, openly admit to receiving cash. More + video...
