Well said @narendramodi ji. The true hallmark of a democracy lies in people¡¯s participation in the electoral process. Voting has to be a superhit prem katha between our nation and its voters :) ?? https://t.co/rwhwdhXj1S

When @mangeshkarlata Didi, @sachin_rt and @arrahman say something, the nation takes note!
I humbly request these remarkable personalities to inspire more citizens to come out and vote in the 2019 elections.
A vote is a great way to make the people's voice heard.

Dear @srikidambi, @Pvsindhu1 & @NSaina,
The core of badminton is the court and the core of democracy is the vote.
Just like you smash records, do also inspire a record-breaking voter turnout. I request you to increase voter awareness & motivate youth to vote in large numbers.

India is proud of @Neeraj_chopra1, @DuttYogi and @WrestlerSushil.
However, they made India win because they participated. I request Neeraj, Yogeshwar and Sushil to encourage people to participate in the elections and vote so that India wins here too!

I appeal to @RahulGandhi, @MamataOfficial, @PawarSpeaks, @Mayawati, @yadavakhilesh, @yadavtejashwi and @mkstalin to encourage increased voter participation in the upcoming Lok Sabha polls. A high turnout augurs well for our democratic fabric.

Tagging people in a series of over 25 tweets, PM Modi requested them to vote and also ask other people in their circles to vote.

My young friends @RanveerOfficial, @Varun_dvn & @vickykaushal09,
Many youngsters admire you.
It is time to tell them: Apna Time Aa Gaya Hai and that it is time to turn up with high Josh to a voting centre near you.

The prolific Phogat sisters, @geeta_phogat, @BabitaPhogat, @PhogatRitu and @Phogat_Vinesh manifest the best of Indian sporting talent.
We've seen you in the wrestling world.
I urge you all to support the movement to ensure greater voter participation in the 'Chunavi Dangal.'

Dear @anilkumble1074, @VVSLaxman281 and @virendersehwag - your heroic deeds on the cricket pitch have inspired millions.
Come, it is time to inspire people once again, this time to vote in record numbers.

In a bid that would garner a lot of praise for PM Modi, he even reached out to some of the rivals including Rahul Gandhi, Mamta Banerjee, Akhilesh Yadav, Mayawati, Naveen Patnaik, KCR, Chandrababu Naidu and others.

Dear @msdhoni, @imVkohli and @ImRo45,
You are always setting outstanding records on the cricketing field but this time, do inspire the 130 crore people of India to set a new record of high voter turnout in the upcoming elections.
When this happens, democracy will be the winner!
