Varanasi, 14 May: Prime Minister Narendra Modi filed his candidacy for the Varanasi Lok Sabha constituency on Tuesday after offering prayers at Dashashwamedh Ghat and the Kaal Bhairav temple.
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath was among those present at the collectorate when Modi filed his paperwork. He is aiming for a hat-trick in the Varanasi Lok Sabha seat, which he first won in 2014.
Modi wrote in Hindi on X, “My relationship with my Kashi is amazing, inseparable and incomparable… all I can say is that it cannot be expressed in words!” The prime minister performed a glittering roadshow in Varanasi a day ago and promised to do much more to aid the holy city during his third term.
A day later, he released a video of his Monday roadshow on ‘X’ and said, “The love and blessings that my Kashi family members showered on me during the road show has become an unforgettable moment in my life.” Varanasi voters will cast their ballots in the seventh phase on June 1.
