&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;NEW DELHI: &lt;/em&gt;The 2G scam-tainted A Raja, DMK candidate from Nilgiris constituency in Tamil Nadu, had to taste humiliation not only at the hands of his AIADMK rival C Gopalakrishnan but also had to put up with a spoiler called NOTA. 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
NOTA, short for none-of-the-above option introduced for the first time in this Lok Sabha election, polled the highest votes in Nilgiris, 46,559 to be precise, beating the score in even the Naxal-infested Nabarangpur constituency of Odisha and Bastar in Chhattisgarh. 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
While Nabarangpur, which covers the Maoist-hit Malkangiri district, saw 44,405 votes in favour of NOTA, Bastar ranked third with 38,772 NOTA votes. Surprisingly, the fourth position went to the non-extremism-hit constituency of Banswara in Rajasthan with 34,404 people exercising the NOTA option. Naxal-infested Rajnandgaon polled 32,384 NOTA votes, followed by another non-extremism-hit constituency, Dahod in Gujarat, where 32,305 votes went to NOTA. 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The constituency with the least number of votes in favour of NOTA was Lakshadweep, where only 123 people exercised the option. NOTA did not prove too attractive to voters in Punjab, Haryana and Delhi either. 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Interestingly, NOTA garnered a countrywide vote share of 1.1% in this Lok Sabha polls, which is more than the vote share managed by parties like the CPI and Janata Dal (United). Over 59.7 lakh voters across all 543 constituencies pressed the last button on the EVM earmarked for NOTA. While Uttar Pradesh led the NOTA tally in absolute terms, Puducherry emerged at the top of the table in percentage terms, with 3% of its electorate choosing to reject all the candidates. 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Though UP polled the highest 5.92 lakh votes in favour of NOTA, this translated into just 0.7% vote share. In fact, barely 19 of UP&#039;s 80 seats recorded more than 10,000 NOTA votes. 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Interestingly, Bihar, Tamil Nadu, West Bengal and Gujarat polled sizeable NOTA votes in most of the constituencies. As many as 31 of 39 constituencies in Tamil Nadu, 23 of 26 in Gujarat, 32 of 42 in West Bengal, 16 of 25 in Rajasthan, 19 of 29 in Madhya Pradesh, 12 of 21 in Odisha and 15 of 40 seats in Bihar polled NOTA votes in excess of 10,000. 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
In terms of vote share, while Puducherry led with 3% in favour of NOTA, Meghalaya ranked next with 2.8%, followed by Chhattisgarh, Gujarat and Dadra &amp;amp; Nagar Haveli with 1.8% vote share. Bihar and Odisha polled 1.6% NOTA votes; followed by Jharkhand, Mizoram and Daman &amp;amp; Diu with 1.5%; Sikkim and Tamil Nadu with1.4%; Madhya Pradesh with 1.3%; and Rajasthan, Kerala, Goa with 1.2%. 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Surprisingly, NOTA, though a popular option in many Naxal-infested constituencies, did not have much impact in militancy-hit Jammu &amp;amp; Kashmir, polling just 0.9% votes. While the NOTA tally was 1,207 in Ladakh, it was 4,382 in Jammu, 4,568 in Baramulla, 4,979 in Srinagar and 5,936 in Anantnag. Udhampur was the lone seat in the state that polled over 10,000 votes, or 10,478 to be precise.

&lt;em&gt;NEW DELHI: &lt;/em&gt;The 2G scam-tainted A Raja, DMK candidate from Nilgiris constituency in Tamil Nadu, had to taste humiliation not only at the hands of his AIADMK rival C Gopalakrishnan but also had to put up with a spoiler called NOTA. 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
NOTA, short for none-of-the-above option introduced for the first time in this Lok Sabha election, polled the highest votes in Nilgiris, 46,559 to be precise, beating the score in even the Naxal-infested Nabarangpur constituency of Odisha and Bastar in Chhattisgarh. 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
While Nabarangpur, which covers the Maoist-hit Malkangiri district, saw 44,405 votes in favour of NOTA, Bastar ranked third with 38,772 NOTA votes. Surprisingly, the fourth position went to the non-extremism-hit constituency of Banswara in Rajasthan with 34,404 people exercising the NOTA option. Naxal-infested Rajnandgaon polled 32,384 NOTA votes, followed by another non-extremism-hit constituency, Dahod in Gujarat, where 32,305 votes went to NOTA. 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The constituency with the least number of votes in favour of NOTA was Lakshadweep, where only 123 people exercised the option. NOTA did not prove too attractive to voters in Punjab, Haryana and Delhi either. 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Interestingly, NOTA garnered a countrywide vote share of 1.1% in this Lok Sabha polls, which is more than the vote share managed by parties like the CPI and Janata Dal (United). Over 59.7 lakh voters across all 543 constituencies pressed the last button on the EVM earmarked for NOTA. While Uttar Pradesh led the NOTA tally in absolute terms, Puducherry emerged at the top of the table in percentage terms, with 3% of its electorate choosing to reject all the candidates. 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Though UP polled the highest 5.92 lakh votes in favour of NOTA, this translated into just 0.7% vote share. In fact, barely 19 of UP&#039;s 80 seats recorded more than 10,000 NOTA votes. 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Interestingly, Bihar, Tamil Nadu, West Bengal and Gujarat polled sizeable NOTA votes in most of the constituencies. As many as 31 of 39 constituencies in Tamil Nadu, 23 of 26 in Gujarat, 32 of 42 in West Bengal, 16 of 25 in Rajasthan, 19 of 29 in Madhya Pradesh, 12 of 21 in Odisha and 15 of 40 seats in Bihar polled NOTA votes in excess of 10,000. 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
In terms of vote share, while Puducherry led with 3% in favour of NOTA, Meghalaya ranked next with 2.8%, followed by Chhattisgarh, Gujarat and Dadra &amp;amp; Nagar Haveli with 1.8% vote share. Bihar and Odisha polled 1.6% NOTA votes; followed by Jharkhand, Mizoram and Daman &amp;amp; Diu with 1.5%; Sikkim and Tamil Nadu with1.4%; Madhya Pradesh with 1.3%; and Rajasthan, Kerala, Goa with 1.2%. 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Surprisingly, NOTA, though a popular option in many Naxal-infested constituencies, did not have much impact in militancy-hit Jammu &amp;amp; Kashmir, polling just 0.9% votes. While the NOTA tally was 1,207 in Ladakh, it was 4,382 in Jammu, 4,568 in Baramulla, 4,979 in Srinagar and 5,936 in Anantnag. Udhampur was the lone seat in the state that polled over 10,000 votes, or 10,478 to be precise.

As many as 31 of 39 constituencies in Tamil Nadu, 23 of 26 in Gujarat, 32 of 42 in West Bengal, 16 of 25 in Rajasthan, 19 of 29 in Madhya Pradesh, 12 of 21 in Odisha and 15 of 40 seats in Bihar polled NOTA votes in excess of 10,000. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;In terms of vote share, while Puducherry led with 3% in favour of NOTA, Meghalaya ranked next with 2.8%, followed by Chhattisgarh, Gujarat and Dadra &amp;amp; Nagar Haveli with 1.8% vote share.

&lt;em&gt;NEW DELHI: &lt;/em&gt;The 2G scam-tainted A Raja, DMK candidate from Nilgiris constituency in Tamil Nadu, had to taste humiliation not only at the hands of his AIADMK rival C Gopalakrishnan but also had to put up with a spoiler called NOTA.

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;NEW DELHI: &lt;/em&gt;The 2G scam-tainted A Raja, DMK candidate from Nilgiris constituency in Tamil Nadu, had to taste humiliation not only at the hands of his AIADMK rival C Gopalakrishnan but also had to put up with a spoiler called NOTA. 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
NOTA, short for none-of-the-above option introduced for the first time in this Lok Sabha election, polled the highest votes in Nilgiris, 46,559 to be precise, beating the score in even the Naxal-infested Nabarangpur constituency of Odisha and Bastar in Chhattisgarh. 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
While Nabarangpur, which covers the Maoist-hit Malkangiri district, saw 44,405 votes in favour of NOTA, Bastar ranked third with 38,772 NOTA votes. Surprisingly, the fourth position went to the non-extremism-hit constituency of Banswara in Rajasthan with 34,404 people exercising the NOTA option. Naxal-infested Rajnandgaon polled 32,384 NOTA votes, followed by another non-extremism-hit constituency, Dahod in Gujarat, where 32,305 votes went to NOTA. 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The constituency with the least number of votes in favour of NOTA was Lakshadweep, where only 123 people exercised the option. NOTA did not prove too attractive to voters in Punjab, Haryana and Delhi either. 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Interestingly, NOTA garnered a countrywide vote share of 1.1% in this Lok Sabha polls, which is more than the vote share managed by parties like the CPI and Janata Dal (United). Over 59.7 lakh voters across all 543 constituencies pressed the last button on the EVM earmarked for NOTA. While Uttar Pradesh led the NOTA tally in absolute terms, Puducherry emerged at the top of the table in percentage terms, with 3% of its electorate choosing to reject all the candidates. 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Though UP polled the highest 5.92 lakh votes in favour of NOTA, this translated into just 0.7% vote share. In fact, barely 19 of UP&#039;s 80 seats recorded more than 10,000 NOTA votes. 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Interestingly, Bihar, Tamil Nadu, West Bengal and Gujarat polled sizeable NOTA votes in most of the constituencies. As many as 31 of 39 constituencies in Tamil Nadu, 23 of 26 in Gujarat, 32 of 42 in West Bengal, 16 of 25 in Rajasthan, 19 of 29 in Madhya Pradesh, 12 of 21 in Odisha and 15 of 40 seats in Bihar polled NOTA votes in excess of 10,000. 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
In terms of vote share, while Puducherry led with 3% in favour of NOTA, Meghalaya ranked next with 2.8%, followed by Chhattisgarh, Gujarat and Dadra &amp;amp; Nagar Haveli with 1.8% vote share. Bihar and Odisha polled 1.6% NOTA votes; followed by Jharkhand, Mizoram and Daman &amp;amp; Diu with 1.5%; Sikkim and Tamil Nadu with1.4%; Madhya Pradesh with 1.3%; and Rajasthan, Kerala, Goa with 1.2%. 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Surprisingly, NOTA, though a popular option in many Naxal-infested constituencies, did not have much impact in militancy-hit Jammu &amp;amp; Kashmir, polling just 0.9% votes. While the NOTA tally was 1,207 in Ladakh, it was 4,382 in Jammu, 4,568 in Baramulla, 4,979 in Srinagar and 5,936 in Anantnag. Udhampur was the lone seat in the state that polled over 10,000 votes, or 10,478 to be precise.

As many as 31 of 39 constituencies in Tamil Nadu, 23 of 26 in Gujarat, 32 of 42 in West Bengal, 16 of 25 in Rajasthan, 19 of 29 in Madhya Pradesh, 12 of 21 in Odisha and 15 of 40 seats in Bihar polled NOTA votes in excess of 10,000. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;In terms of vote share, while Puducherry led with 3% in favour of NOTA, Meghalaya ranked next with 2.8%, followed by Chhattisgarh, Gujarat and Dadra &amp;amp; Nagar Haveli with 1.8% vote share.
