"Polling day is not a holiday, it is a day to perform national duty. Voting is not only a responsibility but also a right given by the Constitution to all citizens to choose the right representatives.

This year, I will also do my duty by casting my first vote by electing a candidate who is loyal to the political party and will carry out the responsibility of development works of the citizens. You also do your duty," says Pranav Prashant Pawar, Adachiwadi.

The right to vote is a fundamental right as well as our duty. Through voting, we express our commitment to ourselves, to society and to our country. Citizens should face the election selflessly with the main objective of ensuring fair representation to the constituency.

Even today, rulers are elected by inducements. The vote should be held keeping in mind that development is neglected," says Muskan Halim Inamdar, Walhe.

I will be voting for the first time in the upcoming assembly elections. As a student, there are a lot of expectations as a new voter and to fulfill them, I will be able to exercise my right to vote considering the image of the candidate and their work.

According to the Constitution, every citizen must take a step forward to fulfill his responsibility by exercising his right to vote," says Pratik Prashant Doshi (Walhe).

As a girl, I feel it is very important to have the right to vote and the right allows me to express my opinion in the decision-making process of the country.

There is a lot of excitement for the upcoming assembly elections and I am very happy that I will be exercising my right to vote for the first time. They will vote to elect a candidate with a clean image without succumbing to any temptation. The marketisation of education must stop. The problem of unemployment must be resolved. As a student, my vote will be to improve the education system," says Sanika Vijay Pawar, Adachiwadi.

In the upcoming 2024 assembly elections, I will vote in this election with a resolve to teach a lesson to the elected representatives who conveniently turned their backs on the people after the last election.

For this, awareness will be created and opportunities will be given to the right leadership and the village, constituency and taluka will move towards progress, motivating the new voters, says Padmashree Manoj Bhujbal, Walhe.
