Lok Sabha Elections 2024: Bollywood actor Paresh Rawal participated in the fifth phase of Lok Sabha Elections 2024 in Mumbai on Monday. After casting his vote, the Oh My God actor said it is the people who don't vote who are responsible for policy failure, not the government.
Paresh Rawal said there should be some provisions to penalize voters who give up their voting rights. “There should be some provisions for those who do not vote, such as a tax increase or some other punishment,” the senior Bollywood actor told reporters on Monday.
Earlier in the day, several Bollywood celebrities and political leaders including Akshay Kumar, Farhan Akhtar, etc. were spotted posing with other indelible ink marks on the fingers. After casting his vote, Akshay Kumar said he wants his nation to remain developed and strong.
“I want my India to be developed and strong. I voted with that in mind. India must vote for what they think is right. I think the turnout in the elections will be good,” he told reporters on Monday.
