” Voters in India are wise and their ID is more powerful than the IED’s of terrorists. Today, the third phase of polling is underway. I am fortunate that I got the opportunity to fulfil my duty in my home state of Gujarat. Like one feels pure after a holy dip during the Kumbh, I feel pure after casting vote in this festival of democracy. The weapon of terrorism is IED, the strength of democracy is voter’s ID. I can say with surety that the voter’s ID is much much more powerful than an IED, so we should understand the strength of our voter IDs.”
Prime Minister Narendra Modi said after voting in Gujarat’s Ahmedabad on Tuesday
