As part of its Systematic Voters Education and Electoral Participation (SVEEP) activities, the Ballari district administration reached out to people working under the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) and administered oath to them asking them to actively participate in the electoral process by exercising their franchise during polling.
Chief Executive Officer of Ballari Zilla Panchayat and head of district SVEEP Committee Rahul Sharanappa Sankanur visited the MGNREGA worksite at Mudenur village in K. Sugur Gram Panchayat limits of Siruguppa taluk on Thursday and interacted with the workers.
“Elections are like festivals in a democracy. The Constitution has given us the right to elect a representative of our choice. We all must exercise this right to choose the right person to represent us in the Lok Sabha and Assembly. We must not be tempted by the temporary offerings in the form of money and material to cast our valuable votes to the wrong person. The Election Commission of India has put in place all mechanisms and security arrangements to ensure free and fair elections. You must all go to your designated polling stations and cast your votes without any fear,” Mr. Sankanur said.
