Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and his family cast their vote in Delhi during the sixth phase of the general elections. The Delhi CM was accompanied by her wife Sunita Kejriwal and his children.

Arvind Kejriwal was seen helping his ailing father to the polling station. Earlier, AAP leaders like Atishi, Saurabh Bharadwaj, and Kailash Gehlot also cast their votes.

After casting his vote, the Delhi CM said he had voted to end unemployment and inflation.

“I voted today with my father, wife and children. My mother is very ill. She could not go. I voted against dictatorship, unemployment and inflation. You too must go and vote,” he said.

Before he cast his vote the Delhi CM urged voters to come out and support his party which he said was standing against dictatorial thinking.

“I appeal to all my voting brothers and sisters to definitely come and cast their vote. Ask your family, relatives and friends to also vote. In this great festival of democracy, each of your votes will be against dictatorial thinking and strengthen the Indian democracy and constitution. Go to the polling booth and show with your vote that there is democracy in India and democracy will remain,” he said.

Earlier today, AAP leader Atishi had alleged that the Lieutenant Governor of Delhi VK Saxena, held a meeting with Delhi Police to slow down the voting process in areas that are strongholds of the INDIA bloc.
