New Delhi marked National Voters’ Day with a powerful message from Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who emphasized that voting transcends mere constitutional rights—it’s a sacred duty shaping India’s future. In a heartfelt post on X, PM Modi extended greetings to the nation and lauded the Election Commission of India for fortifying democratic processes.
‘National Voters’ Day deepens our faith in democratic values,’ Modi wrote. He praised the Commission’s tireless efforts and reminded citizens that every vote counts in crafting a developed India. This year’s observance coincides with the 75th anniversary of India’s first general elections in 1951, a milestone that showcased the innate democratic spirit of Indians worldwide.
In a special letter to ‘My Bharat’ volunteers, PM Modi highlighted the privilege and responsibility of being a voter. He urged celebrating first-time young voters with sweets and festivities in homes, neighborhoods, and campuses. ‘These moments are pivotal; they empower youth to alter the nation’s destiny,’ he noted.
Modi called on schools and colleges to honor new voters through ceremonies, fostering awareness and ensuring every eligible youth registers. He celebrated India’s electoral scale as a global marvel—not just management, but a grand festival of democracy where voters from Himalayan peaks to Andaman islands participate fervently.
Spotlighting women’s rising participation, especially young women, Modi stressed its role in inclusive democracy. He invited youth to join ‘Mera Yuva Bharat’ platforms to amplify their commitment. Concluding with a call to action, he pledged no stone unturned in strengthening democracy for a self-reliant, inclusive Viksit Bharat.
