New Delhi: Maharashtra is all set for the state assembly elections on November 20. The Hindi film industry in Mumbai hopes the new government will bring critical reforms for daily wage workers and policies to reduce financial burdens on the sector.
In five days, the state will witness an electoral battle between the ruling Mahayuti, comprising BJP, Shiv Sena and the NCP, and the opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi led by the Congress, Shiv Sena and NCP.
Talking to PTI, actor Gulshan Devaiah said, “Elections are a hallmark of a good democracy, and it is the people’s right. No matter what problems we may have with each other, electorally and ideologically, we can hold free and fair elections, so that’s quite amazing.”
Film producer Boney Kapoor echoed similar sentiments.
“It is the right of every citizen of this country to vote and elect a leader and make the government machinery as democratic as possible,” he said.
