Sirsa (Haryana): Former Haryana Deputy Chief Minister and Jannayak Janta Party (JJP) leader Dushyant Chautala cast his vote at a polling booth in Sirsa on Saturday and urged the electorate to vote for a change.
Dushyant's parents Ajay Singh Chautala and Naina Singh Chautala also exercised their franchise. "I appeal to people to come out and exercise their right to vote and vote for change. This festival of democracy is very important. Every vote of yours will play a role in bringing change. Don't be deterred by the heat. Get out and exercise the strength of your vote," Dushyant Chautala was quoted as saying by news agency ANI.
JJP candidate from Hisar, Naina Singh Chautala, also appealed to people to exercise their franchise. "Please come out of your houses and vote. Voting is our strength. We can bring about change through your vote," she said.
