  Vishal Dadlani disappointed with low turnout

  After casting his vote for the BMC elections, musician Vishal Dadlani says, "...Hopefully, whoever wins will hold the elections on time. This is very important for the country, for democracy.

If we don't take care of our country, if we don't take responsibility for it, then what's happening will continue to happen... First of all, the air and water should be clean, the basic necessities for human life..."
