BMC elections are crucial for Mumbai's infrastructure. Hope people are voting based on local issues like water, roads, and waste management, not just star power.

While it's nice they voted, the article focuses too much on celebrities. What about the common Mumbaikar standing in line for hours? Their voice matters more.

The scale is impressive! Nearly 3.5 crore voters across Maharashtra. Civic elections directly impact daily life. Hope the turnout is high.

Saw the arrangements at my booth in Andheri. Very smooth process this time. BMC did a good job. Now hoping for responsible corporators who will work for the ward.

Junaid Khan's message is simple and correct. Please vote, yaar. It's our fundamental duty. The future of Mumbai's local governance is in our hands.
