With only a month left for Lok Sabha elections in India, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has urged people to beef up democracy in India. He has taken the lead to inviting people to a political extravaganza.

The dates for the general elections were announced last Sunday and since then political parties are observing model code of conduct.

PM Modi took to twitter and tagged influential people, including Congress president Rahul Gandhi, and asked them to pass the plea to their followers.  

Here are some of the tweets that PM Modi shared:

My fellow Indians,

Urging you all to strengthen voter awareness efforts across India.

Let us all ensure maximum number of Indians come out to vote in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections.

— Narendra Modi (@narendramodi) March 13, 2019

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.

Urging @SrBachchan, @iamsrk and @karanjohar to creatively ensure high voter awareness and participation in the coming elections.

Because...its all about loving your democracy (and strengthening it). :)

Dear @akshaykumar, @bhumipednekar and @ayushmannk,

The power of a vote is immense and we all need to improve awareness on its importance.

Thoda Dum Lagaiye aur Voting ko Ek Superhit Katha banaiye.

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!

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.

Dear @srikidambi, @Pvsindhu1 & @NSaina,

The core of badminton is the court and the core of democracy is the vote.
