As Delhi went to polls on Saturday, there were a few high profile first-time voters excitedto exercise their franchise. Prominent among them were Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra's son Rehan, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's son Pulkit Kejriwal and Congress leader Ajay Maken's son Aujaswi Maken.
Rehan had turned 18 last year, but could not vote in the Lok Sabha elections because of exams. The youngster turned up to vote along with his mother Priyanka and father Robert Vadra.
Speaking about casting his vote for the first time, Rehan said it was a nice feeling to take part in the democratic process finally. "Everyone should exercise their right to vote," the youngster was quoted as saying.
