Dhami urged citizens to make the most of their democratic rights, stating, “So, definitely exercise your right to vote tomorrow and ensure your important participation in building a prosperous and progressive Delhi.”
In the meanwhile, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has asked Delhi voters to take part fully in Wednesday’s Delhi Assembly elections. He has also advised first-time voters to use their right to vote first and then enjoy some well-earned refreshments to commemorate the historic event!
“I extend my special wishes to all the young friends who are voting for the first time,” he said, extending his best wishes to young voters. “Remember, vote first, then have some refreshments!”
In the Delhi Assembly elections, Union Home Minister Amit Shah also called on people to turn out in force and vote against unfulfilled promises, the city’s persistent problems with a polluted Yamuna, damaged roads, and insufficient public amenities.
Shah discussed the need for choosing a government with a proven track record of public service and a clear plan for the expansion of the capital in a post on X.
“I urge my siblings who plan to cast ballots in the Delhi Assembly elections to do so in opposition to damaged roads, tainted water, booze stores, contaminated Yamuna, and false promises. Vote in big numbers today to elect a government with a proven track record of promoting public welfare and a clear plan for Delhi’s future growth. With only one vote, Delhi might become the world’s most advanced capital,” he remarked.
