LS Polls 2024: MP Candidate Padmaraj R Casts his Vote at Capitanio School
Mangaluru: The Lok Sabha elections began in all the 1861 polling booths in the district on April 26, at 7:00 am.
Early in the morning, there was a moderate response from the electorate. The polling is reported to be going on peacefully.
Elections are being held for the Lok Sabha in all 8 constituencies, the Mangalore South, Mangalore North, Ullal, Moodbidri, Bantwal, Puttur, Belthangady, and Sullia.
At 7.12 am, Congress MP Candidate Padmaraj Ramaiah arrived at the polling booth at Capitanio School to cast his vote.
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”.
