Rahul Dravid, the former Indian cricketer and current head coach of the Indian men’s cricket team, garnered attention recently when he was spotted at a polling booth in Bengaluru on Friday, April 26. Demonstrating his commitment to civic duty, Dravid patiently waited in line like any ordinary citizen before casting his vote.
Encouraging others to fulfill their civic duty, Dravid emphasized the importance of voting, stressing that it’s a responsibility shared by every Indian citizen. The viral clip of Dravid waiting in line to cast his vote has been circulating widely across social media platforms.
“Voting went smoothly, and the process was very easy. It is important to take our democracy forward and I request everyone to step out and vote. I am expecting a larger voter turnout this time in Bengaluru.”
”There are so many first-time voters as well, and everyone must use their franchise. If young boys and girls show up and cast their vote, it would be great,” Rahul Dravid was quoted as saying by Moneycontrol.
