Joyson Vas from Capitanio who was supposed to fly to Dubai at 9 am stood in the queue to cast his vote. Speaking to Mangalorean.com Joyson said, “It is our right and duty to elect a capable leader and I have come here to cast my vote. My flight is at 9 am and I have booked a cab to go to the airport after casting my vote. I wish the candidates all the very best”.
Without proper lights in booth number 180 at Capitanio caused inconvenience to voters waiting in a long queue to cast their votes.
Speaking to team mangalorean.com, Rithu the daughter of MP Candidate Padmaraj said, “I am voting for the first time, last time I was eligible to cast my vote but due to my exams I couldn’t make it. I am happy that I am voting for the deserving and right candidate. Voting is our right and we must elect an eligible candidate. I am sure my dad is the right candidate”.

Rithu further said, “I have seen my dad doing a lot of work for society without having any political background. Since my childhood, I have seen my dad working for the poor and the downtrodden without any expectations. Today I am very happy that my dad is contesting for the LS polls and I am sure he is the most deserving candidate”.
After casting his vote MP Candidate Padmaraj said, “Today people have come to cast their votes in large numbers. I have come here to cast my vote along with my family. I thank all the voters for coming early in the morning to cast their votes. I hope the results will be positive”.
