Varanasi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi is holding a roadshow in Varanasi, his parliamentary constituency, ahead of filing his nomination on Friday. Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, Union Minister JP Nadda, UP and Delhi BJP chiefs, Mahendra Nath Pandey and Manoj Tiwari, are among the senior leaders who are accompanying the Prime Minister at the event. PM Modi began the roadshow after paying his tributes at Pt Madan Mohan Malviya’s statue outside Banaras Hindu University. The rally, stretching over 6km, will pass through Lanka and Madanpura areas of the city and end at the famed Dashashwamedh Ghat. Before embarking on the roadshow, PM Modi said that his scheduled programmes in “beloved Kashi” would give him an opportunity to interact with his “sisters and brothers” of the town.
“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!” Modi tweeted. People have been thronging the temple town long before the event started to welcome the Prime Minister.
