Jamnagar: Veteran cricket all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja's sister, Naina Jadeja, and father, Anirudhsinh Jadeja, cast their vote at a polling booth in Gujarat's Jamnagar during the third phase of the ongoing Lok Sabha elections on Tuesday.
After casting her vote, Naina spoke to ANI and said, "Voting is our right in a democracy... We should vote for a better future."
Voting commenced on Tuesday morning for 25 of the 26 parliamentary seats in Gujarat in the third phase of Lok Sabha elections.
In the Jamnagar Parliamentary constituency, the fight is between the sitting MP, BJP's Poonamben Maadam, and the Congress' JP Marayviya.
The polling for 93 Lok Sabha seats across 12 states and union territories in the third phase of the general election started on Tuesday.
