The Hindu
Prime Minister Narendra Modi asked the BJP's "panna pramukhs" and other ground workers to work to ensure 75% polling in every election.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday expressed concern over low voting percentage, especially in urban areas considered educated and prosperous, and said this should change in a vibrant democracy like India.
In an interaction with BJP workers from across the country, Mr. Modi also raised the issues of "one nation, one election" and "one nation, one voters' list", saying that continuous cycle of elections result in politics being seen in everything while development works suffer.
His address coincided with the National Voters' Day on Tuesday.
