Prime Minister Narendra Modi's elder brother Somabhai Modi on Monday (December 5, 2022) met him and told him that he works a lot for the country and that he should take some rest as well. Speaking to news agency ANI after exercising his franchise in Ahmedabad during the second phase of the Gujarat Assembly elections, Somabhai also said that the people of the country cannot ignore the kind of work that is being done at the national level since 2014, which he believed would be the basis of voting in the state polls.

"I asked him (PM Modi) that he works a lot for the country, and he should take some rest as well," Somabhai told ANI when asked about his conversation with the prime minister.

"My only message to the voters is that they should use their votes responsibly. They should vote for such a party that would work for the development of the country. The people have seen the kind of work that has been done at the national level since 2014, they cannot ignore it. People will vote based on that," he added.

Earlier in the day, voting began across 93 Assembly seats in 14 districts of Gujarat during the second phase of the state polls. PM Narendra Modi, who arrived in his home state on Sunday evening, also exercised his franchise in Ahmedabad. PM Modi cast his vote at a polling station set up at a high school in Ranip locality in Ahmedabad city.

"Cast my vote in Ahmedabad. Urging all those voting today to turnout in record numbers and vote," PM Modi tweeted.

After exercising his democratic right, PM Modi said that his home state's people listen to everybody, but it is their nature to accept what is true.

He also congratulated the Election Commission for conducting the polls in a "spectacular manner" and raising the prestige of India's democracy in the whole world.

"For the celebration of democracy, I heartily congratulate the citizens of the country and greet them. I also heartily congratulate the Election Commission. It has developed a great tradition of conducting elections in a very spectacular manner, increasing the prestige of India's democracy in the whole world," Modi told reporters.
