It is destination Varanasi, the parliamentary constituency of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, as parties gear up for the last two rounds of polling in the marathon Uttar Pradesh assembly election. The elections are now in the eastern part of the massive state and polling will be held for 89 seats in 14 districts on March 4 and 8. Over the next few days, political parties plan to carpet bomb Varanasi and adjoining areas and Saturday, March 4, will be a logistics nightmare for the local administration. PM Modi will campaign that day in his constituency while another part of UP votes, as will the Akhilesh Yadav-Rahul Gandhi team and Bahujan Samaj Party chief Mayawati.
