Varanasi: PM Modi Holds Mega Roadshow, Seeks Blessings Of Baba Vishwanath Ahead Of Nomination Filing Tomorrow

Prime Minister Narendra Modi held a mega roadshow in Varanasi on the eve of filing his nomination for a third term from the holy city.

The 6-kilometre route was decorated with around 100 stages, featuring cultural programmes and displays of support for PM Modi.

The streets were adorned with saffron buntings and cutouts, enhancing the festive atmosphere as Modi's convoy progressed through the ancient city.

Thousands of spectators gathered along the route, some playing traditional drums and others dressed in costumes of Hindu deities such as Lord Shiva and Lord Krishna.

The air was filled with the sound of conches, dhols, and damrus.

Accompanying Modi was Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath.

The route included stops at several key points in the city such as Sant Ravidas Gate, Assi, Shivala, Sonarpura, Jangambadi, and Godaulia, where diverse community groups welcomed the Prime Minister.

The roadshow, which started from Banaras Hindu University, concluded at the Kashi Vishwanath temple, one of the holiest pilgrimage centre in the country.

PM Modi performed Darshan and pooja at Kashi Vishwanath Temple, and sought blessings of Baba Vishwanath ahead of his nomination filing tomorrow.

The roadshow and the temple visit came ahead of PM Modi's nomination filing tomorrow, with twelve BJP Chief Ministers expected to be in attendance.

In the 2019 elections, PM Modi secured a significant victory in Varanasi, defeating his nearest rival by a large margin.

Varanasi is set to vote on 1 June, with the vote count scheduled for 4 June.
