Very recently, Prime Minister Narendra Modi urged sportspersons, Bollywood personalities, politicians among several others to do their bit in inspiring the youths of the nation for a record-breaking huge voter turnout.
PM Modi tagged top cricketers like Virat Kohli, MS Dhoni, Sachin Tendulkar and also non-cricketing personalities like Kidambi Srikanth, Saina Nehwal, Geeta Phogat, Neeraj Chopra. Modi also tagged Salman Khan and Aamir Khan.
“Voting is not only a right but it’s also a duty. It is time to inspire and motivate youth in your own Andaz to vote so that we can strengthen Apna Democracy & Apna country,” PM Modi tweeted.
Just a day ago, PM Modi tagged Indian opener Shikhar Dhawan, Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Ravichandran Ashwin and urged them to encourage voter awareness.
“On the cricket field, @SDhawan25, @BhuviOfficial and @ashwinravi99 shine with their incredible talent and absolute commitment towards their team. I urge them to encourage greater voter awareness and voter participation. Young India will follow their lead. #VoteKar,” PM Modi wrote.
