New Delhi, Jan 25: The Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday said the National Voters' Day (NVD) was a moment for celebration of India’s vibrant democracy.  

"National Voters' Day is about celebrating our vibrant democracy and empowering every citizen to exercise their right to vote. It highlights the importance of participation in shaping the nation’s future. We laud the Election Commission of India for their exemplary efforts in this regard," PM Modi wrote on his official X handle.

PM Modi also highlighted the importance of every citizen exercising their right to vote and acknowledged the crucial role of participation in shaping the future of the nation.

He expressed his gratitude to the poll panel for its continuous efforts in strengthening the democratic process.

National Voters' Day, observed on January 25 each year, is a reminder of the establishment of the Election Commission of India (ECI).

"This day holds special significance as it marks the foundation of the ECI," PM Modi said.

He said that during the first general elections in 1951-1952, there were doubts about the sustainability of India's democracy.

"Some people were sceptical, whether the country's democracy will survive," he said.

PM Modi said that India’s democracy had proved all doubts wrong saying that India was the "mother of democracy."

In a video post which was part of his last episode of his Mann Kie Baat PM Modi appealed to citizens to participate in the democratic process by voting in large numbers.

"I urge everyone to vote in large numbers and participate in the democratic processes of the country and also strengthen this process," he said.
