Union Minister Smriti Irani, who voted in Mumbai today, introduced a 93-year-old man to appeal to people to step out and take part in the voting in the Maharashtra election. After casting her vote at a polling booth in the city, Ms Irani was seen having a warm interaction with nonagenarian voter who served in the army, thus sending out the message that there should be no excuses for people to not exercise their democratic right and duty. "Today's hero is Khanna ji... " Ms Irani said, referring to the elderly man standing next to her. The minister was taken by surprise when the 93-year-old bent down to touch her feet.
