Prime Minister Narendra Modi this morning cast his vote at a school in Ahmedabad during the third phase voting for the Lok Sabha polls. The Nishan Higher Secondary School in the city has been designated as a polling booth.
The Prime Minister reached the polling station a little after 7:30 am. Union Minister Amit Shah welcomed him and the two leaders walked to the booth. A huge crowd that had gathered to catch a glimpse of PM Modi cheered from the roadside and raised slogans for him.
On his way to the voting booth, he gave his autograph to a supporter on a portrait that he had drawn of the Prime Minister.
Speaking after casting his vote, the Prime Minister urged citizens of the country to cast their votes since it holds a big significance in a democracy. While addressing mediapersons, PM Modi also asked them to take care of their health and drink a lot of water.
Mr Shah, who is contesting from Gandhinagar, will cast his vote later today.
Voting is underway in 93 constituencies across 10 states and a Union Territory today in the third phase of the Lok Sabha elections.
