Sources have reported that Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley yesterday cast his vote at a polling booth here, and appealed to the people to come out in large numbers to exercise their right to franchise. Meanwhile the Rajya Sabha member from Gujarat stood in a queue to vote at the Chimanbhai Institute in the Vejalpur Assembly constituency here, with voters eagerly taking selfies with him.
Arun Jaitley said "Since the last many
years we have made good progress in our development journey, and he is
confident that people of Gujarat will come out in large numbers to vote for development”.
He would also appeal to the people to come out and exercise their franchise and
continue the journey”.
Moreover the BJP has fielded its MLA from the
constituency Kishore Chauhan this time as well. He is fighting against Congress
candidate Mihir Shah and further after an acrimonious campaign, voting for the
second and final phase of the Gujarat assembly elections is under way today in
93 seats in North and Central Gujarat.
