Chandigarh: Saying every vote will decide the direction and condition of the country, AAP MP Raghav Chadha Saturday cast his vote at a polling station in Punjab’s Mohali, near here, for the seventh and the last phase of the general elections.
He was among the first voters to exercise his franchise.
After casting the vote he showed his inked finger. “Today is the grand festival of India. Every vote by the citizen will decide the direction and condition of the country. I urge everyone to exercise their right to vote,” Chadha told the media.
लोकतंत्र के इस महापर्व पर मैंने एक जागरूक वोटर होने की अपनी ज़िम्मेदारी निभाई। आप सब भी वोट डालने ज़रूर जाएँ।#LokSabhaElections2024 pic.twitter.com/kwmHQrBiHW
