Kanpur's 115-year-old Jamuni Devi exercises the Right to Vote, setting an example for all

On Tuesday, a 115-year-old woman by the name of Jamuni Devi and her son, Raja Ram, 70, were among the voters in the Ghatampur Assembly area. Setting a stellar example of true citizenship, Jamuni Devi was one of the oldest voters at the Ghatrampur bypoll, which is worth everyone's attention. Speaking to the reporters, her son Raja Ram was quoted saying, " My mother refused to have breakfast and insisted me to take her to polling station first." He further added that his mother's zeal and enthusiasm to cast her vote has left him impressed and inspired.

Around 53.6% of the citizens went to the polling booth to decide the fate of 88 candidates

In a conversation with the media personnel, Jamuni Devi highlighted the fact that she has been a regular voter and didn't want to miss her chance today. "I would appeal all voters to come and cast their votes," she said. Around 53.6% of the citizens went to the polling booth to decide the fate of 88 candidates, fielded across seven assembly seats in Uttar Pradesh bypolls. A senior official stated the fact that elderlies were among the first to vote and first-time voters also lined up in huge numbers to vote for their candidate.

Knock Knock

Oldest among all voters, Jamuni Devi has set an example for all, across the state and beyond, by exercising her right to vote. This just proves that if there's a will, there's certainly a way and it's high time that citizens understood their responsibilities and duties towards the nation. Voting is a key step, in all of it.
