Ahmedabad: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday voted at a polling booth in the Ranip area of Ahmedabad city under the Gandhinagar Lok Sabha constituency in Gujarat.
PM Modi arrived at the polling booth a little after 7:30 am. He was welcomed to the booth by Union Home Minister Amit Shah, who is contesting to retain the Gandhinagar Lok Sabha seat.
After casting his vote, he congratulated the Election Commission for conducting the first two phases of the Lok Sabha polls with hardly any violence.
The Prime Minister urged the voters to come out in large numbers to vote. “Matdaan is Mahadaan . I appeal to the people to vote in large numbers,” PM Modi told reporters after voting. People across India should celebrate this ongoing “festival of democracy” by voting in large numbers, the PM said.
PM Modi also said the way the Indian elections are being conducted could be a learning process for other democracies.
