Varanasi: Day after holding a mega road show in Varanasi, Prime Minister Narendra Modi today filed his nomination from the Varanasi Lok Sabha seat. Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanth was also present on the occasion.

During 2014 and 2019 elections, Prime Minister Narendra Modi registered a huge margin victory.

The four proposers of his nomination were Pandit Gyaneshwar Shastri, who has played a key role in the consecration ceremony of Ram temple, Baijnath Patel, Lalchand Kushwaha and Sanjay Sonkar.

Earlier in the day, the Prime Minister did ‘Ganga Pujan’ at Dashashwamedh Ghat and then boarded the cruise ship to NaMo Ghat. He visited the Kaal Bhairav temple and then went to file his nomination papers.

On Monday, PM Modi also held an extravagant roadshow in Varanasi on a five-kilometre stretch, surrounded by what can be described as a “sea” of over 100,000 saffron supporters.

He was accompanied by CM Adityanath and BJP state president Chaudhary Bhupendra Singh.

Besides, several Union ministers, including Defence Minister Rajnath Singh and Home Minister Amit Shah, BJP president J. P. Nadda and presidents of various NDA members were present for the occasion.
