Riteish Deshmukh & Genelia D’souza Cast Votes in the Latur Election: Tuesday morning witnessed the arrival of power couple Riteish and Genelia Deshmukh at a voting booth in Latur, Maharashtra, to cast their votes in the 3rd Lok Sabha election.
“This is an important day, and I think everyone should cast their votes today,” Genelia said after casting her vote.
Riteish also encouraged everyone to go to the polls. “I travelled from Mumbai to Latur to cast my vote for election. It is time for everyone to leave their homes and cast their votes. It’s an important day today. He said that voting is important for everyone.
Riteish was joined by Dhiraj Deshmukh, a Maharashtra Congress MLA, and his brother.
Dhiraj highlighted the importance of voting in elections, saying that “everyone should exercise their right to vote in this democratic festival. I encourage all to use their important vote.
Vaishali Deshmukh, the wife of former Maharashtra Chief Minister Vilasrao Deshmukh and their mother, also cast her vote early on Tuesday in Latur, Maharashtra.
Vilasrao Deshmukh, who was born in Latur on May 26, 1945, served as the Maharashtra chief minister twice and as a minister in the UPA government headed by Dr. Manmohan Singh. He passed away on August 14, 2012.
Riteish visits Latur often with his family. Riteish was present at the Latur unveiling of his late father’s statue, a respected congressman, earlier in February.
The actor was seen crying in a video of his address, which went viral on social media.
12 hard years have passed since the demise of Vilasrao Deshmukh. Now and then, the pain shows up. He used to shine all the time, and he still does. This brilliance is unfading. He persevered so that we, his children, would also have to be strong. Must take a firm stand for the responsibilities that come with being his children as well as for ourselves. His love for us is clear today, even if he is not physically here, and it shines brilliantly on this stage,” Riteish said.
This time, in Latur, the NDA has put up senior Member of Parliament Sudhakar Tukaram Shrangare against Kalge Shivaji Bandappa of the INDIA Alliance.
