Indian man chops off his index finger after accidentally voting for the wrong party during general election

印度举行大选，印度小哥Pawan Kumar不小心把选票投错了，一气之下选择自断食指!

An aggrieved voter says he hacked off his finger after casting his ballot for the wrong political party in India's general election.

这位印度激进的选民称，不小心把选票投给其他政党，他自断了食指

Pawan Kumar said he was confused by the various symbols on the electronic voting machine and mistakenly pushed the button for the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) when he turned up to vote in the northern state of Uttar Pradesh on Thursday.

Kumar says in a video circulating on social media that he had intended to cast his ballot for the ruling Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

'I wanted to vote for the elephant, but I voted for the flower by mistake,' he says in the video, referring to the election symbols, or party logos, which appear next to the name of each candidate on the voting machines.

The BSP are represented by a left-facing elephant, symbol of physical strength, will-power and peace

Kumar说，他不小心把票投给执政的印度人民党(BJP)。他想投票给一个地区政党，但投票机上的符号让他看花了眼。

“我想投票给大象，但错误地投了花，”Kumar在视频中说道。他指的大象和花分别是投票机上显示的党派符号。

印度人民党的标志是莲花。大象是Bahujan Samaj党(BSP)的标志，这是一个重要的区域政党。BSP联合了两个地方政党一起反对印度人民党。

The two parties have distinctly different ideologies; whereas the governing BJP is Hindu nationalist and fiscally conservative, Kumar's preferred BSP emphasize social justice and egalitarianism.

据了解，两个政党有着完全不同的执政理念。印度人民党是印度教民族主义者，是财政保守派。

而库玛尔青睐的BSP政党强调社会正义和平等主义。

After they cast their ballots, Indian voters' index fingers are marked with indelible ink to prevent electoral fraud such as double voting.

投票完后选民食指会印上短期内洗不掉的墨水，因此他立刻“壮士断指”
