It was an amazing sight on the streets of Kashi…I congratulate him (PM Modi) and wish him all the best,” Pathak remarked.
PM Modi, seeking a third consecutive term from the Varanasi constituency, filed his nomination papers amidst fervent enthusiasm from supporters and dignitaries. The historic city of Varanasi, known for its spiritual significance, resonated with chants of ‘Modi, Modi’ and ‘Har Har Mahadev’ as the Prime Minister made his way to the district magistrate’s office.
Accompanied by a cadre of NDA leaders including Union Home Minister Amit Shah, BJP National President JP Nadda, and Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, PM Modi formally submitted his nomination papers.
