Prime Minister Narendra Modi also cast his vote in Gujarat and asked the people to fulfill their responsibility of voting.
Mr. Modi also addressed the media and said, the power of a voter ID card is much more than terrorists’ Improvised Explosive Device (IED.)
Mr. Modi said, “Indian democracy presents an example before the world. While on the one hand, an IED is the weapon of terrorists, on the other, the voter ID [identity] is the weapon and power of democracy. I am confident that the power of voter ID is much more than the IED and we should understand the importance of the voter ID card and come out to vote in large numbers.”
