PM Modi, Amit Shah cast votes

Prime Minister Narendra Modi and BJP President have cast their votes in their home constituency.

Both the BJP leaders exercised their franchise from Nishant School in Ahmedabad's Ranip under the Gandhinagar constituency.

It may be noted that Shah is contesting the General Election from Gandhinagar.  Before voting, he went to his mother and sought blessing, a ritual he has been doing for years.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi reached Ahmedabad on Tuesday morning, where he cast his vote in the third phase of Lok Sabha elections. Later, he took a stroll to his vehicle while flashing his inked finger.

Standing up inside his vehicle after casting his vote, PM Modi once again made an appeal to voters to exercise the voting franchise. He also said that the voters of India are clever enough to know who to choose.

A huge crowd gathered at the polling station while PM Modi rode an open vehicle to the polling station. Modi picked up Amit Shah's granddaughter to play with her as the gathering of supporters cheered seeing Modi and Amit Shah.
