"Forget about politics. Just think of yourself. Like the Plus 2 examination is critical in a student's life, the 18-28 age period is very significant. It's a golden period. If an inept government that is controlled by a remote control comes to power in Delhi, your life will be ruined. So think of your own future and elect a strong government that does not work with a remote control or oxygen pumped by the mother-son duo," he told the youth.
"The country will get ruined without development," he said, adding that a wave which began in favour of BJP a few months ago has now developed into a tsunami and is set to wash away Congress completely.
"We have to dream of developing a digital India if we have to progress. Digital India and mobile governance. Technology can aid us in building such an India," Modi observed.

Telugu Desam Party president N Chandrababu Naidu, Telugu film star Pawan Kalyan and other leaders of the two parties also attended the event.
