Third gender also played a role
Mahasamund. There are 20 voters of third gender in the district. They seem quite eager to cast their votes this time. Sarika, a resident of Bagbahra, said that this time through video we have appealed not only to the third gender but to everyone to vote. Its effect will definitely be seen. We have urged all our colleagues to vote. Our participation in this festival of democracy will also be ensured.
Keshar Kanwar Jain became an example
Today voting is going on smoothly in the district. As soon as the morning dawned with full enthusiasm, the first question was what time to go, then she got ready and asked what polling station should we go to. Keshar Kanwar Jain, who has crossed the age of 100 years, has always voted in every election, be it municipal, assembly or Lok Sabha. Last time I had gone on foot myself, this time due to ill health I had to take the help of a wheel chair due to the operation but the enthusiasm to vote remained the same. She along with her grandson reached the polling booth located at Khallari under Khallari assembly. Neither his courage nor enthusiasm diminished. In this great festival of democracy, his passion to vote even at this age is worth inspiring others. This morning, Sikandar Mahakur, 81, of village Remda and Navadi Deep, 75, of village Remda, cast their votes this morning in polling station 197 of Assembly Constituency 40 Basna. Their contribution in this great festival of democracy will inspire others too.
