PM Modi, Amit Shah cast their votes
New Delhi, May 7: Prime Minister Narendra Modi led by example on Tuesday as he exercised his voting right in Ahmedabad, Gujarat in the third phase of the Lok Sabha election, underscoring the significance of citizen engagement in the democratic process.
Adorned in a traditional white kurta paired with a saffron sleeveless jacket, PM Modi arrived in the Gandhinagar constituency at the Nishan Higher Secondary School polling booth in Ahmedabad.
His presence drew considerable attention and excitement among the voters and onlookers alike.
In a gesture aimed at inspiring fellow citizens, Modi emphasised the importance of active participation in shaping the country’s destiny.
Security measures were notably intensified in Gujarat owing to the presence of both the PM and Union Home Minister Amit Shah, who also exercised his franchise at a polling booth in Ahmedabad.
