The fourth phase of voting for the Lok Sabha Elections 2024 is underway. South superstars Allu Arjun and Jr NTR were among the early voters in Hyderabad. The actors got their fingers inked at a polling booth in Jubilee Hills on May 13 along with their families.
‘Everybody has to use the right of their vote. I think it is a good message which we need to pass on to the coming generations,’ the ‘RRR’ actor said.
After casting his vote for the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, actor Allu Arjun said, ‘Please cast your vote. It is the responsibility of all the citizens of the country. Today is the most crucial day for the next 5 years. There will be a huge voter turnout, as more and more people are coming out to vote…I would like to tell, I am not politically aligned with any party. I am neutral to all parties…’

Actor Allu Arjun and YSRCP MLA Ravi Chandra Kishore Reddy have been booked for allegedly breaching the Model Code of Conduct in Andhra Pradesh's Nandyala. They are accused of permitting a large public gathering at the MLA's residence that violates the Code ahead of the state elections.
