Right to reject

Sir, — This is in response to the Chief Election Commissioner's proposal to give voters the right to reject all the candidates in a constituency by indicating their preference for `none of the above'. I hope the proposal gathers momentum and snowballs into a popular movement that will make our elections reflect the true popular mood.

Ranjit Rajan,
Thrissur, Kerala

Sir, — After finding out the educational background of our leaders and the cases pending against them, I am sure the option (if introduced) will poll the maximum number of votes.

Ruchi Gandhi,
New Delhi
