My name missing in list, could not vote: Jwala Gutta
Hyderabad, Dec 7 : Ace shuttler Jwala Gutta was disappointed Friday, as she could not vote in the Telangana Assembly polls after her name was allegedly missing in the voters' list.
"I had checked (name) and then only went today (to vote) and my name was missing. My point is, my father and sister's names have been missing since the time we checked online," the badminton star said in a video message on twitter.
She sought to know why her name was deleted as she has been residing at the same residence for the past 12 years.
If the names are deleted, the concerned persons should definitely be informed, she said. Gutta said her mother was, however, able to vote.
Her father Kranti Gutta told PTI that Jwala's name was found in the voters' list around one month ago. He claimed his attempt to enrol online as a voter was not successful.
The concerned polling station is in Banjara Hills in the city, he said. Jwala Gutta has won several medals, including in the Commonweath Games.

Residents allege poor road condition in Murdeshwar area; warn of protest
Bhatkal: Residents have expressed anger over the poor condition of roads in and around the popular tourist destination of Murdeshwar, saying commuters are facing severe hardship.
According to locals, the road stretch from Bastimakki to Urban Bank in National Colony has remained in bad shape for several years. They said the situation has worsened over the last five months after gravel was spread on the road in the name of repair work and left unfinished.
People alleged that movement of vehicles on the loose gravel has become dangerous, and several persons have reportedly slipped and suffered injuries.
Residents said the issue has been brought to the notice of minister Mankal Vaidya on several occasions, but no clear action has been taken so far.
Locals also claimed that though many promises were made during the election period, it has now become difficult even to reach the minister.
They warned that if officials and the contractor fail to complete the road work immediately, they would be forced to launch a strong protest in the coming days.
