Shri Subhash Chandra has said the votes of the youth of Bharat will play a major role in deciding who forms the next government after the ongoing 2019 Lok Sabha election.
Subhash ji cast his vote along with family members at a polling station in Mumbai’s Cuffe Parade on April 29, which was the fourth phase of polling in the Lok Sabha elections. After casting his vote, Subhash ji said, “I think the youth of our country… They know what they want. They are very clear. And, I think they must have voted based on that. And, I am sure this government, whosoever wins, will be kind of elected by the youth of this country.”
Subhash ji also tweeted a picture after voting, and appealed to voters to not only ensure that they cast their vote, but also take their entire family along to exercise their democratic right. He characterised voting as not just a right but also a duty.
मैंने आज सपरिवार मतदान किया। मैं आप सभी से आग्रह करता हूँ कि आप भी परिवार के सभी सदस्यों के साथ मतदान करें।
I did my bit, have voted with my entire family. I would urge you’ll to take each and every family member along with you to vote.

He appealed to people to celebrate the festival of democracy with family members, in much the same way they would celebrate Deepavali or Holi.
We celebrate every festival with our family, be it Deepawali or Holi. Similarly, election is a festival of democracy, which should also be celebrated with our family.
जैसे हम सभी त्योहार परिवार के साथ मानते हैं वैसे ही हमें लोकतंत्र के महापर्व को भी पूरे परिवार के साथ मनाना चाहिए— Subhash Chandra (@subhashchandra) April 29, 2019
Subhash ji had earlier termed the right to vote as a ‘precious gift’ from Bharat’s freedom fighter and martyrs. He had said voting would be an act of gratitude towards them. Subhash ji had made this appeal on April 11, the first day of polling in the ongoing election.
The right to vote is a precious gift that we’ve received from our freedom fighters & martyrs. The only way to express our sincere gratitude towards their sacrifices is to exercise that right.
देश के लिए, देशवासियों के लिए, अपने लिए, अपने परिवार के लिए मतदान अवश्य करें।— Subhash Chandra (@subhashchandra) April 11, 2019
Subhash ji had specifically appealed to every voter to exercise their right to vote, specifically first-time voters.
