PM Modi holds mega roadshow in Varanasi
Varanasi : Prime Minister
Narendra Modi on
Thursday held a mega
roadshow here, taking his
parliamentary constituency,
Varanasi, by storm
a day ahead of filing his
nomination papers.
In a show of strength,
he was joined by Uttar
Pradesh Chief Minister
Yogi Adityanath and other
senior BJP leaders.
Modi started his seven-kilometre
roadshow
by first garlanding the
statue of Banaras Hindu
University founder Pandit
Madan Mohan Malviya.
The prime minister,
who was wearing a saffron
kurta and scarf, was
cheered by a massive
crowd as his cavalcade
passed through the Lanka
and Assi areas of the city.
He is scheduled to
perform the ‘Ganga aarti’
at the Dashashwamedh
Ghat.
Before reaching Varanasi,
Modi had tweeted:
“After bumper rallies in
Darbhanga and Banda,
I am heading to beloved
Kashi.”
“There are a series
of programmes lined up,
which would give me
another excellent opportunity
to interact with
my sisters and brothers
of Kashi. Har Har Mahadev!”
he had tweeted.
The show of strength
takes place on a day the
Congress ended all speculation
about its general
secretary Priyanka Gandhi
Vadra taking on Modi
in the city.
The Congress has
again fielded Ajay Rai
from the Varanasi Lok
Sabha seat. He had finished
third in 2014.
The BJP said JD(U)
president and Bihar Chief
Minister Nitish Kumar
and Shiv Sena chief Uddhav
Thackeray will accompany
Modi as he files
his nomination around
11.30 am on Friday.
Shiromani Akali Dal
patriarch and former
Punjab Chief Minister
Parkash Singh Badal and
Lok Janshakti Party chief
Ram Vilas Paswan will
also be in attendance, the
party said.
On Friday, the prime
minister will address
booth heads and workers
at 9.30 am and then offer
his obeisance to Kal Bhairav
at 11 am.
“In this (nomination)
programme, senior SAD
leader and former Punjab
CM Parkash Singh Badal,
Bihar Chief Minister and
JD(U) chief Nitish Kumar,
Shiv Sena chief Uddhav
Thackeray, central
minister and president of
the Lok Janshakti Party,
Ram Vilas Paswan, will
be present,” the party had
said in a press release.
Leaders of the AIAD-
MK, the Apna Dal and the
North-East Democratic
Alliance will also be present,
it said.
