Prime Minister Narendra Modi filed his nomination for the Varanasi Lok Sabha seat on Tuesday, aiming for a third term. The event showcased a significant show of strength with the presence of several NDA leaders, including Union ministers and chief ministers.
Dressed in a white kurta-pajama and blue sadri, Modi started his day with an aarti at Dashashwamedh ghat and prayers at the Kaal Bhairav temple. He then proceeded to the district collectorate to file his nomination papers.
Following the nomination, Modi addressed local party leaders and workers at the Rudraksha Convention Centre. A BJP spokesperson mentioned that Modi provided a “mantra of victory” and emphasized the importance of informing people about the government’s schemes. He also urged party members to increase votes at each booth by at least 370, symbolizing the abrogation of Article 370.
