Mohan Bhagwat said this

Meanwhile, Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh chief Mohan Bhagwat gave a statement on BMC elections. He said that voting is an important duty in a democracy and citizens should use their vote wisely. Bhagwat said that NOTA means rejecting everyone, but choosing the best candidate from the available options. He warned that anarchy i.e. absence of a king is the worst situation.

Bhagwat said, ‘When we do not elect anyone i.e. do NOTA, then we are unknowingly helping the one whom we do not want. It is important to keep public interest in mind while voting.
