Maharashtra Assembly Elections 2024: “The biggest festival in democracy is being celebrated now. Me and my family have cast our votes. I would like to appeal to brothers and sisters of Maharashtra to vote as it is not just our right, but our responsibility as well,” said Deputy CM and BJP candidate from Nagpur South West Assembly constituency Devendra Fadnavis after casting vote.
“Even we have to be more responsible… civic sense, discipline, we always demand but don’t deliver anything ourselves. Mumbai has always been an epicenter of business, entertainment… that glory should come back. Work on infrastructure is being done… it should be done on time. Roads and structure will be developed but along with that there should be green cover, parks for people. I only hope and pray that these things happen as soon as possible. This is not only the government’s job, but we also have to be responsible. There will be huge difference if we vote today. Let’s help the government by doing good work,” said actor Suniel Shetty after casting vote in Mumbai.
Mumbai: After casting his vote, Union Minister Piyush Goyal said, “I am happy that people are voting in large numbers and exercising their franchise. The Election Commission has made good arrangements and I am confident that there will be more than 60% voting and Mahayuti will win all the 6 seats in North Mumbai.”
