PM Modi is a voter from Gandhinagar seat

He said that today I have filed my nomination from Gandhinagar seat. It is a matter of pride for me that the seat which LK Advani or Lal Krishna Advani, Atal ji has represented and Narendra Modi ji himself is a voter from here. Got a chance to represent from that seat. For 30 years, I became MLA and MP from Gandhinagar and did a lot of work for the public. The people here give me a lot of love. I have reached Parliament from a small booth worker.

The BJP government has done a lot of work under the leadership of Modi, first as CM and later as PM. In 5 years, development work worth more than Rs 22 thousand crores was done in Gandhinagar area. I am very satisfied that whenever I have come to seek votes for the party and for myself from the people of the area, they have blessed me wholeheartedly and have always made me win with a very strong majority.
