Modi urges people to vote in 6th phase LS polls

Prime Minister Narendra Modi appealed to voters to exercise their electoral right as polling for the sixth phase of Lok Sabha elections began on Sunday.

"Yet another phase of the 2019 Lok Sabha elections is here! Urging all those whose constituencies are polling in today's sixth phase to go out and vote," he said in a tweet.

He said he hoped youngsters would vote in record numbers.

"After all, their participation makes the polls even more special," he said.

Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia also extended his greetings to all seven candidates of Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), who are contesting from Delhi.

Voting began on Sunday across 59 Lok Sabha constituencies spread over seven states, largely in the Hindi heartland, as the sixth and penultimate round of the mega seven-phase electoral exercise kicked off.
