 BJP candidate from Gorakhpur Lok Sabha Ravi Kishan on Saturday arrived at a polling station in Gorakhpur and queued up in the line to cast his vote and emphasised that politicians are servants of the public, not VIPs. Ravi Kishan said that this is what India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi has taught them that they are servants of the public and are not VIPs.  

Kishan added as soon as PM Modi came, he ended the VIP culture in India by ending the concept of red beacons. He said when one’s head is so grounded, then one should remain a common man too. He said he does not hold any position above others now and prefers to stay humble. The prime minister has ended the VIP culture in India and changed the politics of the country. He emphasized that this is India’s culture and everybody should follow it.

Ravi Kishan said he has cast his vote for Viksit Bharat, Ram Rajya and to make India a Vishwa guru. He took to X and wrote Friends, you all will be aware that today voting is being held in Gorakhpur under the 7th phase of Lok Sabha Elections. On this occasion, he humbly requested everyone, the God-like voters who are the destiny makers of Gorakhpur, to exercise their right to vote in this great festival of democracy by discharging their duty as an aware voter.

He said every vote of theirs is important and it will decide the future of Gorakhpur Lok Sabha seat and the country, therefore he once again appealed to everyone to participate enthusiastically in this festival of democracy.

In the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, Kishan emerged victorious against Samajwadi Party (SP) candidate Rambhual Nishad by a margin of 3,01,664 votes.
