તમારા બાળકોના શિક્ષણ માટે,
સારી આરોગ્ય વ્યવસ્થા માટે,
સારી જનસુવિધાઓ માટે,
ભ્રષ્ટાચાર નાબૂદ કરવા માટે
અને એક ઈમાનદાર યુવા સરકાર બનાવવા માટે મતદાન કરો.

તમારા એક મતથી પેપર ફૂટવાની ઘટના બંધ થશે, તમારા મતથી તમારું ભાગ્ય બદલશે. મતદાન અવશ્ય કરો. જય હિન્દ. pic.twitter.com/8nUMYcHiTP — Gopal Italia (@Gopal_Italia) December 1, 2022
