Votes cast in favour of NOTA (none of the above) option were more
than the margin of victory in 22 assembly constituencies in Madhya
Pradesh, the Election Commission data shows.
NOTA even 'outperformed' some of the parties such as the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and Samajwadi Party (SP), getting more votes across the state than them.
As many as 5,42,295 voters pressed the NOTA button on Electronic Voting Machines, which was 1.4 per cent of the total number of votes cast.
But the number is less than that in the 2013 polls when 6.43 lakh (1.9 per cent) voters rejected all candidates.
In 22 seats this time, NOTA tally was greater than the victory margin.
12 of these seats were won by the Congress, 9 by the BJP and one by an independent candidate.
4 BJP ministers lost in such constituencies
