Pranav Alwe from Parel Village voted at a Sewri centre. Alwe took approximately 1.5 hours to get to the voting cubicle, “I went to vote at 9.30 am and finished by 11.15 am,” he stated. “I was quite certain about who I wanted to vote for. But, when I saw the EVM machine, there was some confusion, just a bit, but I went with my original choice.” Alwe said, “perhaps the centre could have done with more fans, it was absolutely searing inside.” That aside, the 22- year-old felt the gravity of the situation, “my voice will be counted now.”
While it was sweltering in Sewri, for interior designing student Manaksh Dasadia from Prabhadevi, the voting process was smooth. Manaksh said, “I had decided who I would vote for, I was reading newspapers diligently a few days before, just trying to follow the political twists ’n’ turns. There was no queue and it was smooth going at the centre,” said the teenager who believes that it is not just voting, “we should also have younger people in politics.”
