Prime Minister Narendra Modi will file his nomination from Varanasi for the 2024 Lok Sabha elections today, seeking a third term. He held a 6-km-long roadshow the day before, pledging further development for the city if re-elected. Expressing his emotional connection to Varanasi, Modi stated, "Aaj Maa Ganga ne mujhe god le liya hai" (today Maa Ganga has adopted me) on X. Modi first contested from Varanasi in 2014, defeating AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal by over 3 lakh votes, establishing it as a BJP bastion. Modi aims to continue this legacy in the upcoming elections.
