Bihar Chief Minister and JD-U chief Nitish Kumar, Union minister and LJP chief Ram Vilas Paswan, Shiv Sena supremo Uddhav Thackeray and Shiromani Akali Dal patron Parkash Singh Badal were with Modi at the Collectorate as Modi filed his papers, seeking a second term in the Lok Sabha from the temple town
BJP leaders, including party president Amit Shah, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and senior Union ministers Rajnath Singh and Sushma Swaraj, were also present on the occasion.
Before reaching the Varanasi Collectorate to file his nomination, Modi went to a temple to offer prayers
The prime minister, who reached here on Thursday and brought life to a standstill as he held a seven kilometre roadshow through the town, also addressed party workers in the morning
The prime minister said he had worked honestly for good governance and the people had made up their minds that they want another Modi government
“During yesterday’s roadshow here, I have sensed the hard work of party cadre,” he said amid chants of “Modi Modi“
Modi, who also participated in the “Ganga aarti” at the Dashashwamedh ghat, addressed a meeting here on Thursday. While the last five years were about his government making sincere efforts, the next five will be about results, he said
Modi also laid stress on national security and said a new India gives a befitting reply to terror.
Note
In 2014, Modi won the Varanasi Lok Sabha seat, defeating Aam Aadmi Party chief Arvind Kejriwal by a massive margin of 3.37 lakh vote.
