As the Lok Sabha elections are approaching, Prime Minister Narendra Modi tweets to a wide range of people including opposition, sportsmen, journalists and film fraternity urging them to encourage more people to vote in the Lok Sabha elections this year.

He used witty captions to appeal to each one of them. He tagged filmstars Ranveer Singh, Vicky Kaushal and used two popular catchphrases from their films and wrote, "Many youngsters admire you. It is time to tell them: Apna Time Aa Gaya Hai and that it is time to turn up with high Josh to a voting centre near you."

My young friends @RanveerOfficial, @Varun_dvn & @vickykaushal09,

Many youngsters admire you.

It is time to tell them: Apna Time Aa Gaya Hai and that it is time to turn up with high Josh to a voting centre near you.
