Shrugging their ‘me-no-care’ attitude, Delhi’s first time voters were an excited lot on Thursday as they made it to the nearest polling booths to cast their vote. Diksha Chawla, 18, a student and a first time voter, said: ‘This is the first time I am casting my vote and I am really excited about it. It somehow makes me feel very empowered.’
Flaunting her inked index finger, Chawla said: ‘It is immaterial whether the party I voted for wins or any other party wins. What is important is that whoever comes to power should do something for the country.’ Similarly, Rajiv Sharma, a first year college student, said that he could not wait to cast his ballot.
‘I was really looking forward to casting my vote for the first time. Instead of cribbing all the time, I feel that each one of us should do our bit to change things and casting our vote is the first step towards that,’ Sharma, who studies in the Shri Ram College of Commerce here, said.
