The Prime Minister cast his vote at a polling booth in Ranip in Ahmedabad, a part of Gujarat's Gandhinagar Lok Sabha constituency, in the third phase of the parliamentary polls. Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) chief Amit Shah is the party candidate from this constituency, which was earlier represented by BJP veteran L K Advani.
Modi also asked the youth and first-time voters to exercise their franchise in the interest of the nation. "I welcome the youths for their active participation in making a decisive government..."
