“The BJP has emerged victorious across the country under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. I am sure that Gujarat, from where the BJP”s victory journey started, will again establish itself as a stronghold of the BJP,” he said.
Shah said the development journey started by the BJP under Modi’s leadership continues across the country, and many states have taken inspiration from it.
“I am sure that voters will turn out in large numbers and development will win,” he added.
Tight security arrangements were made at the polling booth where Shah and his family members cast their votes.
The counting of votes will take place on Tuesday.
