Just two days prior to the voting day in Mumbai, the 86-year-old Tata had urged all residents of the city to participate in the electoral process responsibly. His call to action resonated with other influential figures, as Tata Sons Chairman N Chandrasekaran and Reserve Bank of India Governor Shaktikanta Das also cast their votes in Mumbai.
The polling stations in Mumbai saw a flurry of celebrities, businessmen, and politicians exercising their franchise. Industrialists like Anil Ambani and Anand Mahindra joined the ranks of voters, alongside actors Akshay Kumar, Sachin Tendulkar, and a host of Bollywood stars.
The constituencies in Mumbai participating in the fifth phase of the Lok Sabha polls include Mumbai North, Mumbai North West, Mumbai North East, Mumbai North Central, Mumbai South, and Mumbai South Central.
