Ditching home voting, 80 years & above reach booths to cast their vote

IndiaTimes Sunday, 26 November 2023
Octogenarians, nonagenarians, and even centenarians in Jaipur chose to cast their votes from polling booths instead of voting from home. Jitender Pal, an 85-year-old partially paralyzed voter, expressed that the idea of home voting made him feel physically disabled and he wanted to prove his capability by coming to the polling booth. Senior citizens were provided with e-rickshaw pick-up and drop-off services in almost all constituencies. Another octogenarian, Kashmiri Lal Kataria, who was recently discharged from the hospital, insisted on visiting the booth to observe the parties' efforts.

LS Polls 2024: Congress manifesto launch | Priyanka Gandhi, Kharge slam BJP, Modi | Oneindia News

Top Congress leaders, including the party president Mallikarjun Kharge, former president Sonia Gandhi, held a rally in Jaipur on Saturday, April 6, to publicly launch its election manifesto 'Nyay Patra'. The Jaipur public rally comes a day after the Congress released its manifesto for the 2024 Lok Sabha polls promising a legal guarantee for MSP, and passing a constitutional amendment to raise the 50 per cent cap on reservations for SCs, STs and OBCs among others. The release of the manifesto 'Nyay Patra' was announced by Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, expressing happiness and pride in her mother Sonia Gandhi's presence in Rajasthan after becoming a member of the Rajya Sabha. Unemployment, claimed to be at its peak, was criticised, with allegations made against the BJP and Modi government for failing to address the issue adequately. The Agniveer scheme, accused of shattering people's hopes, was mentioned, along with concerns raised about leaked papers in various states and the ongoing protests by farmers, suggesting that PM Modi is unwilling to heed their grievances.
