Reached Dashashwamedh Ghat after winning the election
Year- After winning the 2014 election, Modi had come to thank the people of Kashi. On 17th May 2014, Prime Minister Modi, along with Amit Shah, Rajnath Singh, and JP Nadda, reached the Ganga Ghat. His convoy went directly from Varanasi Airport to Dashashwamedh Ghat.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday strongly targeted the opposition in Kashi. The PM said, ‘For 40 years, women’s reservation was pending. We passed the Women Power Appreciation in 2023. Discussions were held to implement this law. Parties like SP, Congress, TMC, DMK have deceived the women of the country.’

He said, ‘Such parties have put a brake on women’s reservation for 40 years. SP again showed the red flag to it. The real fact is that all these family-based and appeasement-immersed parties are afraid of women’s power. This family-based fear does not want the daughters of the country to come to the Assembly and Parliament. I give you all sisters the assurance again that your right to reservation will be implemented, and I will leave no stone unturned in this.’
