82-year-old Muktiba of Vidyanagar says that "I am very happy to be able to exercise my right to vote."
As many as 13 senior citizens above 80 years of age and disabled voters of Anand constituency voted at home.
"My name is Mukti Sudhir Mukherjee, I am 82 years old. I have voted in all the elections since I got the right to vote, but due to my age I am suffering from Diabetic Neuropathy. Due to this I am unable to walk much this time. It seemed that I would not be able to vote, but I took advantage of the special facility created by the Election Commission to vote at home for senior citizens like us, and because of that I was able to exercise my right to vote. I am very happy about it."
