Ahmedabad, Apr 23 (IBNS): Accompanied by BJP chief Amit Shah, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday cast his vote in Ahmedabad as the third phase of polling in the Lok Sabha elections is currently underway.

After casting his vote, PM Modi told reporters: "The weapon of terrorism is IED, the strength of democracy is voter ID."

"I believe that the strength of voter ID card is more than IED," he said.

"We should understand the importance of our voter ID cards," he said.
