Make new voting record: PM Modi to Himachal voters

Prime Minister Narendra Modi urged Himachal Pradesh voters on Saturday to enthusiastically participate in the ''festival of democracy'', a reference to the assembly polls, and register a voting record.

In a tweet, Modi also greeted the young voters who will be exercising their franchise for the first time.

People of the hill state will be voting during the day to elect a new government, with the incumbent BJP and the opposition Congress squaring off in their bid to form the next government.
