New Delhi: BJP's prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi today welcomed Supreme Court decision on negative voting, calling it a "great step" for political reforms.
"I wholeheartedly welcome this. I am sure it will have a long lasting impact on our polity and will be a great step in the direction of further electoral reforms that can make our democracy even more vibrant and participative," Modi said in a blog post published Friday.
"This will give out a very strong message to political parties - parties will be forced to think why is it that people are not accepting them. It will make parties more responsible," he said.
