NAMAKKAL: The indelible ink applied on her right index finger added to the beauty of the henna on her hands. Casting her vote was the first thing that Deepika of Kosavampatti in Namakkal district did after her wedding on Thursday morning. Deepika and the groom, Anand of Tirupur, walked straight to polling station wearing garlands. She cast her vote while he waited outside. Deepika said, “It is my right and responsibility to vote. Even though today is my wedding day, I wanted to make sure that I fulfilled this duty before anything else.” What about Anand’s vote? Well, they were heading to Tirupur, around 60km away, where he would cast his vote.
