How important is every vote in a democracy? A living example of this is Tirupattur assembly seat of Tamil Nadu. Here the vote of just one person changed the entire game. DMK minister KR Periakaruppan lost the election from Tirupattur seat by a margin of just one vote. This proves that every vote has its own importance in democracy.
