Pankaj Tripathi was a national icon till last year.

New DelhiToday elections for Delhi Vidhan Sabha are being held. Despite repeated appeal of all the leaders, the start of voting in the National Captain has slowed down. The Election Commission of India appointed Bollywood actor Pankaj Tripathi as the national icon to promote voting in the elections, but he left his title last year. Pankaj Tripathi may not be a national icon anymore, but he still promotes voting in elections in every way.

Today, even during the voting of Delhi elections, the actor appealed to the people that he should not consider it a holiday today, to perform his duties and vote. Emphasizing the importance of the right to voting, he says, ‘Every person has the right to vote in democracy. In fact, this is our biggest right, which can bring positive changes. When I was working with the Election Commission, our main task was to make people aware that they should not consider the day of voting as any other holiday, but go out and vote.

Regarding adding the names of new voters to the voter list this year, Pankaj Tripathi says, ‘This year the names of many youths are joining the voter list, due to which the number of voters is going to increase. If we get a chance to exercise our rights only once every 5 years, then we should use it completely ‘.

Stories of film stars narrated
Encouraging people to cast their votes, Pankaj Tripathi also shared stories of his film co-stars. He says that once he was going to cast his vote and then his 2-3 co-stars said that he has never voted till date.

Last year, before being removed from the post of National Icon, Pankaj Triwathi had made a lot of efforts to spread awareness among the people about the rights of voting.
