Caught on television cameras casting a vote for another person, a Trinamool Congress candidate lamely admitted that he did so to help the voter who was 'inebriated', during the first phase of the panchayat elections at Jhalda in West Bengal's Purulia district on Thursday.
TMC candidate J Bagdi who was seen casting vote on behalf of a voter, when questioned said, "He is drunk. His hands are trembling.
"He asked me to vote for him. That's why I voted on his behalf," Bagdi said.
