Learn & Learn: Specially-Abled Couple Came Out To Vote While Maharashtra Saw Low Voter Turn Out

Maharashtra and Haryana have state elections today, and the voter turnout in the two states is not really impressive.

Even as people rage against the felling of trees in Aarey, as of 4:00 pm on October 21, the turn-out recorded in Maharashtra stands slightly above 43%.

Even as most of the population in the state treated the election day as a holiday, a specially-abled couple came out to exercise their right to vote, in Mumbai.

ANI shared a video on its Twitter handle which is going viral as we speak; it shows the couple coming out of a polling booth after they cast their vote.

A lot of famous faces were clicked outside polling booths after they voted. Kareena Kapoor Khan, Aamir Khan, Madhuri Dixit Nene, Lara Dutta and politicians like CM Devendra Fadnavis,NCP chief Sharad Pawar, MNS chief Raj Thackeray, are just a few of them.

The specially-abled couple has set an example for the rest of the Mumbaikars who should have turned up to vote.

A change in governance cannot just be brought about by using words on social media. Exercising the right to vote is an indication of how the citizens of the country feel - the true mark of a government¡¯s success or failure. We cannot talk about bringing a change without being a medium.
