Narendra Modi’s Diwali Outreach – Handwritten Letters to promote Voter Registration

Mr. Narendra Modi has been an avid blogger connecting with his fans and followers regularly and sharing with them ideas that are close to his heart. Voter Registration of all the eligible voters is one idea that is really close to his heart.

Mr. Modi has always advocated this and used novel ways to encourage people to register as voters. On 20th September 2013 he had asked celebrities in the Twitter world to encourage young voters to register.

Mr. Modi again used the upcoming festive season to encourage voter registration drive. In his blog dated 30th October 2013 Mr. Modi asked his fans and followers to write hand written letters to family and friends. Yes, hand written letter in the age of SMS, tweets and mails. Mr. Modi asked his fans to surprise family and friends with hand written letters and urge them to ensure that all the 18 year and older are registered as voters.

During this festive season I have another request to make to you…in this age of text messages, WhatsApp, social media, Tweets and Emails, when was the last time you had written a hand written letter?

Let us give a unique Diwali gift to our family and friends- a hand written letter. Surprise them with the handwritten letter that would and talk about the importance of voter registration. If they have not registered as voters, urge them to register and urge them to spread the message to their family and friends! This is something where our NRI friends can help in a major way. Our nation is at a very critical juncture and it is the voters, the Bhagya Vidhatas of a democracy who steer the nation away from troubled times.

I am glad to see that http://www.India272.com is giving the opportunity to share your letter so that others can get inspired to write to their friends. I am sharing the link where you can do so….

He specially asked NRI friends to help in a major way to ensure all eligible people are registered voters. Mr. Modi also requested if all could share letters on http://volunteer.india272.com/letter so as to inspire others.
