Voter ID more powerful than IED: PM Modi

Ahmedabad, Apr 23  :  Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday said that the power of voter ID used for voting in a democracy was many times more than the IED (Improvised Explosive Devices) of terrorists.

Talking to reporters after casting his vote at Nishan School booth in Ranip area here which falls under Gandhinagar Lok Sabha constituency, PM Modi said, “India gives strength to democracies across the world.”

He said, “On the one side terrorists use IED as their weapon while the Voter ID is used as the weapon and power of democracy. The power of voter ID was many times more than the IEDs.”

The Prime Minister said that he was happy to get a chance to vote in his home-state. “The kind of pious joy one feels after taking a holy-dip during Kumbh is what I am feeling after casting my vote,” he said.

He also said that the Indian voter was very wise and knows whom to vote for and whom not. This wisdom of the Indian voter to separate water from milk is a matter of study for the whole world.

PM Modi also welcomed the first time voter and said, “I welcome them for their active participation in the festival of democracy for the formation of a decisive government,” he said.

Before arriving to the polling station, the Prime Minister went to meet his mother Heeraben Modi and took her blessings.

BJP president Amit Shah, who is contesting Lok Sabha election from the Gandhinagar seat, was himself present to greet PM Modi.

A large number of people had also gathered near the booth to have a glimpse of Modi from close quarters.
