In a passionate call to action, Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge urged Maharashtra's citizens to cast their votes decisively. Emphasizing the importance of the state's prosperity and development, Kharge advocated for voter participation to prevent extremist influences that threaten farmers and youth.
Kharge directed a subtle critique towards the BJP, asserting the unlikelihood of polarizing politics succeeding in Maharashtra. He compared the ongoing elections to those in Jharkhand, where public welfare and tribal rights took precedence. He stressed the significance of voting against regressive political dynamics.
The youth were particularly encouraged to partake in the democratic process as the Election Commission of India reported varying voter turnout rates across Maharashtra and Jharkhand. As elections progressed, these numbers underscored the diverse political engagement in India's democratic landscape.
