Prime Minister Narendra Modi began his two-day visit today to his Lok Sabha constituency Varanasi in Uttar Pradesh by holding a roadshow. This comes a day before PM Modi will file his election papers to contest the Lok Sabha elections.
A large crowd, many in it wearing saffron caps and scarfs, gathered near the iconic Benaras Hindu University gate of Varanasi on Thursday evening for PM Modi's roadshow in the Uttar Pradesh temple town where he will file his election papers tomorrow to contest the Lok Sabha polls.
After paying tribute at a statue of Madan Mohan Malviya, a leader of the independence movement and a renowned educationist, the PM will take his roadshow through the holy city, passing through ancient temples and ghats before finally ending in the holiest ghat of them all, the Dashashwamedh. The prime minister will also attend the evening aarti at this ghat.
Senior BJP leaders like Amit Shah, top union ministers and chief ministers are expected to attend the roadshow.
Before this he addressed a public rally in Bihar's Darbhanga and Uttar Pradesh's Banda.
