"People cannot ignore the kind of work Centre has done after 2014. I asked him (PM Modi) that he works a lot for the country, he should take some rest as well," said Somabhai Modi as he barely controlled his emotions and was about to be in tears.
In his message to voters, he appealed to them to come out and vote in large numbers.
