Young Antara Pai Raiturkar’s joy knew no bounds when she came to cast her vote at the polling booth housed in the Margao Municipal Council library.
She was not only a first-time voter, but Antara celebrated her birthday on Tuesday as she came to the polling
booth accompanied by her relatives.
“Obviously I feel good as I am exercising my constitutional right to vote for the first time ever. Though I am celebrating my birthday, I did not want to lose my right. I am lucky that I am exercising my right to vote for the first time and on my birthday,” she said, adding that she would celebrate her birthday later in the day.
On her preference of candidates, Antara said whoever is elected by the people should do something for the development and progress of the nation and the people.
“I feel the winners should take up development of the nation and of the people, especially of the youth,” she added.
