I will start by raising my finger and do not mind it.
This is the index finger. This, the mark you are looking at on my nail is the mark of the person who has just voted. “Jaishankar said,” My state (Delhi) has just held elections. Last year we had a national election. In Indian elections, about two-thirds of eligible voters vote. About 70 crore out of about 90 crore voters voted in the national election. We count votes in a single day. ‘ (Language)
