PRIME Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday voted at a polling booth in Gandhinagar Lok Sabha Constituency in the single-phase voting for 25 seats in Gujarat. Modi reached the polling booth at Nishan Public School in Ranip locality of Ahmedabad city soon after the polling began at 7 am and cast his vote. Union Minister and senior BJP leader Amit Shah, who is contesting to retain the Gandhinagar Lok Sabha seat, was present when Modi reached the polling booth. Modi greeted people, signed autographs on his way to the polling booth. He bowed down to his elder brother Somabhai Modi before entering the polling booth. The PM, who arrived in Ahmedabad on Monday night, cast his vote in the polling booth after getting his finger inked. After coming out of the polling booth, he waved to the crowd and showed his inked finger.
Taking to social media platform ‘X’, the PM urged every eligible voter to exercise their franchise and strengthen our democracy. He also urged the people to vote wisely for the development of nation under ‘vikasit bharat’ programme. Polling began at 7 am in all the 25 Lok Sabha constituencies in Gujarat. Modi is a registered voter from Ranip area. Somabhai Modi turned emotional while remembering their mother late Hiraba and said she would be showering her blessings on the PM from heaven. Somabhai Modi said just like the people, he also wants his brother to become the Prime Minister for the third time.
PM Modi used to meet his mother at her residence in Gandhinagar in Gujarat and take her blessings before coming here to cast his vote. Hiraba passed away in December 2022. “My mother is no more. But she must be giving her blessings to Narendrabhai from heaven right now,” said a teary-eyed Somabhai outside a polling booth in Ranip locality here under the Gandhinagar Lok Sabha constituency where PM Modi cast his vote in the morning.
