Kolkata: An indisposed former West Bengal Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee did not cast his vote on Sunday in the seventh and final phase of Lok Sabha polls. The CPI-M stalwart is suffering from a progressive lung problem - chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) - and could not come out of his Palm Avenue residence to exercise his franchise, party sources said. Bhattacharjee, suffering from the disease for years, now has to frequently resort to oxygen support for breathing properly. He also has a severe eye problem. (IANS)
