Will ask voters to give majority to nationalist party: PM's brother

Published on: 

Global Indians for Bharatiya Vikas (GIBV), an organisation whose vice-president is Somabhai Modi, Prime Minister Narendra Modi's elder brother, said on Friday that it will appeal voters to ensure majority for a "nationalist party" in the coming Lok Sabha polls.

Around 5,000 Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) and thousands of local youth will take part in this campaign across the country, Somabhai Modi told reporters here.

"GIBV will soon start a campaign to ensure maximum percentage of voting in Lok Sabha elections," he said.

"We will appeal voters to give an absolute majority to a nationalist party," he said.

"We will not ask voters to vote for any particular party, but will ask them to vote for a nationalist party," Somabhai said when asked if they will canvas support for the BJP.

"Our aim is to ensure over 70 per cent voting. We do not want horse-trading of MPs, so we will appeal people to give a clear mandate to one party," he said.
