Prime Minister Narendra Modi urged Himachal Pradesh voters on Saturday to enthusiastically participate in the "festival of democracy", a reference to the assembly polls, and register a voting record.
In a tweet, Modi also greeted the young voters who will be exercising their franchise for the first time.

People of the hill state will be voting during the day to elect a new government, with the incumbent BJP and the opposition Congress squaring off in their bid to form the next government.
