The campaign was launched at the First Time Voters Conclave, NaMo Navmatdata Sammelan.
The music video showcased how PM Modi has turned the dreams and aspirations of crores of Indians into reality. The campaign song mentioned that India’s situation was deplorable and then the country chose NaMo (Narendra Modi) as the PM.
“Namo kept his promise and the dream of a developed country did not merely remain a dream. Namo chose the right paths and weaved reality, not a dream. That’s why everyone chooses Modi,” the lyrics go on…
PM Modi also addressed the youth of the nation at the First Time Voters Conclave and said, “My youth of India, please join the MY Bharat organisation. You can also keep sending me your views and suggestions through the cc letter should be in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections, especially what should be included in it for the youth.”
Elaborating on the current circumstances of the country, PM Modi said, that the conditions prevailing in the country 10-12 years ago had made the future of India bleak. You may not even be aware of the conditions of those times. The generation before 2014 had given up hope in the possibilities we are talking about today.”
“But today, the circumstances have changed! From the ramparts of the Red Fort, I stated that ‘Yehi samay hai, sahi samay hai.’ And this holds true today. You read the newspapers, and you will get to see India shine and make big strides in one sector after another.
Emphasising the importance of every vote in a democracy,
PM Modi urged young voters and said that when the country is working to become a ‘Viksit Bharat’ by 2047, your vote will decide the direction of India.
