“Vote de or Vat (go away) Le”
It is true that in spite the public holiday, citizens have not shown the interest in election. However, I would say that, it is not futile efforts by the Govt. for maximum voting, but at least, the efforts could manage to keep the spirits of the usual voters. The news glimpse have shown only usual alert celebrities, but other than these standard respected celebrities, other Bolywood celebrities have ignored this democratic festival. As far as Mumbai is concern, we cant compare the figure with 2004, as many of the voters had shifted to north Mumbai from south Mumbai, so the ratio definitely would be low for south Mumbai. Those who were available & wanted to vote they could not vote due to the negligence of EC and those who could vote, they have ignored because they were unavailable on their old resident. So briefly we can say that migrated people, have played small but villain type role in our democratic festival. I think, EC should have taken the help of MNS for the maximum voting, as their stand like i.e. either “vote de or Vat (go away) Le” from Mumbai or Maharashtra, irrespective of any caste whether Marathi or Non-Marathi.
