As he runs for a third term from the Varanasi Lok Sabha seat, PM Modi filed his candidature on May 14 in front of a number of NDA leaders, including chief ministers and union ministers. After a busy morning that included prayers at the city’s Kaal Bhairav temple and aarti on the banks of the Ganga at the Dashashwamedh ghat, Modi arrived at the district collectorate wearing a blue sadri and a white kurta-pajama.
The prime minister went straight to the Rudraksha Convention Centre to address the leaders and workers of his local party after filing his paperwork.
After filing his nomination, PM Modi took to social media X and said, “Filed my nomination papers as a candidate for the Varanasi Lok Sabha seat. It is an honour to serve the people of this historic seat. With the blessings of the people, there have been remarkable achievements over the last decade. This pace of work will get even faster in the times to come.”
