Activists, politicians, and public intellectuals have decided to set up citizen’s vigil in collaboration with the opposition’s polling agents on the counting day to ensure no malpractices. This vigil will be observed across the country at around 350 counting booths.
One of the signatories to this vigil is Parkala Prabhakar, an economist, and husband to Finance Minister Nirmala Sitaraman. "We will be holding discussions, sharing counting vigil manuals and details about form 17C," said Teesta Setalvad, an activist with Vote for Democracy.
