TIL Desk/National/Varanasi/ After filing his nomination papers from the Lok Sabha constituency of Varanasi, Prime Minister Narendra Modi today said, “I deeply express gratitude towards people of Kashi. They have again blessed me after 5 years. Such a grand roadshow yesterday was possible only in Kashi.”
He also urged people to vote in large numbers. “Aisa mahaul kuch log ab banane lage hain ki Modi ji toh jeet gaye aur vote nahi karoge toh chalega. Kripa karke aise logon ki bataon mein mat aiye. Matdaan apka haq hai, loktanta ek utsav hai, zada se zada matdaan karna chahiye desh mazboot karne ke liye. Don’t fall into trap of those who say it’s okay not to vote because Modi has already won poll battle. Voting is your right. Democracy is a festival, vote in large numbers and strengthen your nation,” he said.
Varanasi
will vote in the last phase of the seven-phase Lok Sabha elections on May 19. Almost
all prominent leaders of the Bharatiya Janata Party, as well as members of the
National Democratic Alliance and North-East Democratic Alliance accompanied
Modi.
