BJP candidate Dr Virendra Khatik cast his vote from Tikamgarh Lok Sabha seat. The minister along with his wife and daughter voted at polling station number 74 located in Civil Lines of the city. He said that compared to last time, this time there is amazing enthusiasm among the people. There is a long queue at the polling booth since 7 in the morning.
“The administration and the government have also done a lot of work to increase the voting percentage in the second phase. This election is not about the region and state but about the country and every person is voting for the nation”, said Dr. Khatik. As he had full hope that Narendra Modi will again become the Prime Minister for the third time, on being questioned regarding the challenge to Congress, he said that when Congress does not have a candidate and their is the point of challenge. “Ever since I started contesting elections, I have always been moving forward and this time I will go even further”, he added.
Congress candidate Pankaj Ahirwar also voted. Appealing to the people to vote as much as possible, he said that this time the people of the area will vote on the issues of unemployment, inflation and migration.
