Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Thursday that this Lok Sabha election is an opportunity for the country to choose a leader who can run a strong government which "makes the world aware of India's strength,” reported PTI.

Modi was addressing an election rally organised at a college ground in Jaunpur in support of BJP candidates Kripashankar Singh from the Jaunpur parliamentary constituency and sitting MP BP Saroj from the Machhlishahr (reserved) seat.
