Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday arrived in Varanasi, ahead of filing his nomination papers from the Lok Sabha constituency today.
Earlier today, the Prime Minister said his relationship with Kashi (another name for Varanasi) is "inseparable and incomparable".
"It is a democracy, and I will continue to seek the blessings of the people. However, my relationship with Kashi is something different," he said.
PM Modi, who first contested from Varanasi in 2014 as BJP's prime ministerial candidate, is seeking a third consecutive term from the Varanasi seat, where voting will be held on June 1 in the seventh and final phase of the Lok Sabha election.
People from different communities, including Marathi, Gujarati, Bengali, Maheshwari, Marwari, Tamil and Punjabi, welcomed Modi at 100 points in 11 zones marked out on the route of the roadshow.
