Forget about politicians, think about yourself, country when you vote: Modi to youth

BJP Prime Ministerial candidate Narendra Modi today drew an analogy between examinations and the Lok Sabha elections.

"You prepare for Plus 2 examination with great seriousness. Good result opens the door for a bright career and bad result spells doom," he said referring to students.

"As the period between 18 and 28 years is a golden phase of your life when you take up jobs and settle down to lead a life depending on success in your academic career, so does a country after electing a party to power for a term of five years," he said.

Urging the youth, who constituted over one-third of the total voters, he said "Forget about us politicians, think about yourself and your future and that of the country when you go to cast you votes."
