Indore (Madhya Pradesh) [India], May 19 (ANI): Setting an example, a specially-abled middle-aged woman came out to vote at the polling booth in Indore on Sunday.
Sonu Mali, with the help of a wheelchair, came to exercise her ballot at the booth no 316 in Nanda Nagar of Indore.
"I came here to vote because I feel that I must vote for a good candidate to ensure the development of the region. Voting is our right and we should exercise it," Mali told ANI.
Dressed in a green 'salwar-kameez' with a pink 'dupatta', she used the ramp set-up for specially-abled people to enter the polling booth.
"I urge other specially-abled people to make efforts and cast their vote," she said.
Mali showed-off her inked-finger with a beaming smile.
Eight of the total 29 seats in Madhya Pradesh are voting today in the last round of national polls.
