Very good initiative. Now Persons with disabilities who have serious navigational issues will also participate in electoral process. I am awaiting the day when persons with disabilities will get reservation similar to woman and SC and ST reserve constituency.
Good to read on newzhook that Hearing impaired person is contesting assembly election in MP. More persons with disabilities will participate and win election when there will be reserved constituency.
