Vijay Gujjar, a 45-year-old engineer working in Dubai (UAE) for a U.K.-based company, came to India to cast his vote in Yadgir. He has been working in Dubai for the last two decades.
The family of Mr Gujjar is from Bhadravati, but they had moved to Yadgir.
He said that it is every Indian’s duty to vote to strengthen the nation.
His move to come from abroad to vote in the Lok Sabha elections in India was appreciated by local people.
One of the voters said, “His enthusiasm to vote to decide the nation’s real ruler will serve as a model to others.”
