He said the city was going to celebrate the festival of democracy on Saturday, and mentioned that festivals like Diwali, Dussehra, Eid, Holi, Christmas, and others come every year, but this festival of election comes only once in five years.
Saxena said the Lok sabha elections are a golden opportunity for the people when they can decide which direction the country will head in the times to come, and as an Indian how will one want to see the country in terms of social, political, and economic context?
