Peeved over delay in flats, Noida buyers begin NOTA campaign

Peeved over delay in possession of flats, a section of buyers in Noida and Greater Noida Sunday started a unique initiative pledging to go for NOTA instead of any candidate in the Lok Sabha election. The flat buyers under a registered umbrella body Noida Extension Flat Owners and Members Association (NEFOMA) have launched the 'No Home, No Vote' drive to express their angst with their elected representatives and state as well as central governments, the body said. Noida and Greater Noida are part of the Gautam Buddh Nagar parliamentary constituency which has over 22.5 lakh votes. Notably, over five lakh new voters have been enrolled since 2014 and a major chunk of them is flat buyers, according to the district administration. "The flat buyers in Greater Noida west have not got the flats even after the assurance from the prime minister. (Uttar Pradesh) Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath constituted three ministerial committees but those also did not help. Hence our association has started today the 'No Home, No Vote' drive from Rudra Projects in Greater Noida," NEFOMA president Annu Khan.
