The buzz around Mumbai’s BMC elections reached fever pitch as Aamir Khan and Kailash Kher stepped out to vote, setting an example for Mumbaikars. These polls aren’t just about local governance—they’re a high-stakes power struggle influencing everything from garbage collection to skyscraper approvals in the financial capital.
Arriving discreetly yet drawing massive crowds, Aamir Khan inked his finger and shared his thoughts: ‘Democracy thrives when we all show up. It’s our duty to vote for progress.’ The ‘PK’ star’s presence highlighted the elections’ importance, especially amid debates over civic mismanagement and corruption allegations.
Kailash Kher, with his signature energy, pumped fists after voting. ‘Vote for those who care about your streets, schools, and hospitals,’ he exhorted. His words struck a chord in a city plagued by flooding woes and crumbling roads, issues central to campaign rhetoric.
Polling stations across 24 administrative wards buzzed with activity. Security was beefed up after minor skirmishes reported in some areas. Voter turnout early reports suggest a promising uptick, fueled by aggressive campaigns and celebrity appeals.
Beyond the glamour, these elections pit traditional powerhouses against emerging alliances. Shiv Sena’s internal rift adds drama, while BJP eyes expansion. As the day progresses, Aamir and Kher’s actions remind everyone: in democracy, every vote counts toward building a better Mumbai.
