Residents of disputed villages in Kotia cross Odisha border to vote in Andhra Pradesh polls
By Satyasundar Barik3 min read at The Hindu
In brief
Voters from the disputed Kotia gram panchayat crossed from Odisha into Andhra Pradesh to vote in the AP State elections, despite Odisha deploying police and border checkpoints.
Odisha political leaders accused AP of bribing voters, while Odisha officials claimed they successfully prevented AP from setting up polling booths inside Odisha.
The jurisdictional dispute between the two states dates back to the 1950s, with the Supreme Court issuing a status quo order in 2006.
