Azim was not the only person who became the role model for other voters.
An elderly woman grabbed all the attention in Dindigul district’s Reddiyarchatram, Tamil Nadu, when she came to a polling booth to exercise her franchise. Why did she become the talk of the town? Well, she is 102 years old and reached the polling booth alone with the help of her walking stick in the scorching heat to participate in the biggest festival of democracy.
She cannot stand properly due to her old age, but still, she realises her duty towards the country. According to her voting ID, her name is Chinnammal. The elderly woman has set an example for the people of the country who will cast their votes in the upcoming phases of the Lok Sabha Elections. If she can come to the polling booth at this age, then everyone can.
