Varanasi, the spiritual capital of India, is abuzz with anticipation as it prepares for a grand roadshow by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday evening. This event marks the commencement of his campaign for a third term from the Varanasi parliamentary constituency.
The five-kilometre roadshow will kick off with the Prime Minister paying tribute to Pandit Madan Mohan Malaviya at the Lanka Gate of Banaras Hindu University. This act signifies the Prime Minister’s reverence for the city’s historical figures and its academic legacy.
The procession will wind its way through the city, culminating at the sacred Kashi Vishwanath temple. Here, the Prime Minister will seek divine blessings, reinforcing the city’s spiritual significance.
The roadshow is set to be a vibrant showcase of the central government’s accomplishments over the past decade. It aims to highlight the promises delivered and the milestones achieved, underscoring the government’s dedication to national development.
The roadshow’s route, encompassing Assi, Sonarpura, Jangambari, and Godaulia, features a hundred points of welcome. These points are designed to extend a hearty reception to the Prime Minister, reflecting the city’s warm hospitality.
The planning and execution of the eleven beats, marking the path from the Malaviya statue to the holy Kashi Vishwanath Dham, have been meticulously managed by senior BJP officials and representatives. Their efforts ensure a smooth event and enthusiastic participation.
Prime Minister Modi is slated to file his nomination from the Varanasi Lok Sabha seat on May 14. Varanasi has been a BJP stronghold and has seen PM Modi’s victory in the 2014 and 2019 Lok Sabha elections. As the city readies itself for the forthcoming elections, the roadshow signifies the start of an exciting new phase in its dynamic political journey.
