Could you kindly throw more light? It will help poor people like me who cannot afford to do international travels on taxpayers¡¯ money like Udhayanidhi! BTW, Mam, better for you not to speak in English! Your English SUCKS!"

Others mocked the idea, joking that Jyothika seemed to be promoting a new government policy on online voting.
