Rahul Gandhi praised every woman who was a part of the Lok Sabha elections for holding an important role in the elections.

New Delhi: Congress President Rahul Gandhi on Sunday praised women for playing a key role in the general elections and said the voices of "mothers and sisters" must be heard.

His remarks came as polling began for the final phase of the polls in 59 seats to decide the fate of 918 candidates including Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who is seeking to retain the Varanasi seat in Uttar Pradesh.

"Today is the 7th and last phase of polling. Our mothers and sisters have played a key role in these elections, not just as candidates, but also as committed voters whose voices must be heard. I salute them all," Gandhi said.

"One vote will make the future of the youth empowered. One vote will take the farmers towards loan waiver. One vote will take small traders towards profit. One vote will get the deprived 'Nyay' (justice)," he said.
