Latur (Maharashtra), Apr 9 (IANS): Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday made a passionate appeal to the millennial generation and exhorted them to select the nation above everything else while exercising their first-ever vote in the 2019 elections.
Addressing a rally at Ausa in this Marathwada district, Modi said that this generation, born in the 21st century has got a lot from their families, people and the country as they stepped into adulthood.
"This is the opportunity to repay it... I ask you, will you ensure that your first vote will be for the Pulwama martyrs, for the poor to get homes, water or the farmers and health for all countrymen?
"You must only vote for the country and for a strong government," Modi urged.
He said that every vote that is cast for the Bharatiya Janata Party would "come directly to me.." and asked the Millenials to now vote only in favour of national interest.
