VARANASI: No member of parliament (MP) can compete with Prime Minister Narendra Modi in terms of ensuring the allround developmen­t of their respective constituen­cy, Union home minister Amit Shah said while referring to the developmen­t that Varanasi saw over the last 10 years.

Shah was addressing a gathering of over 5,000 BJP workers in Varanasi, which is represente­d by the PM in the Lok Sabha, on Wednesday. He appealed to them to ensure that the PM won with an overwhelmi­ng majority in the forthcomin­g election.

After arriving at the meeting venue and greeting the workers with a ‘pranam’, Shah noted that Kashi was the land of knowledge as saints including Kabir and Ravidas had taken birth here.

“PM Modi ended corruption and freed the country from the politics of ‘bhai-bhateejawa­d’...

After he became the PM, the UP government led by Yogi Adityanath freed the state from mafia,” he noted.

“It is an honour for me to inaugurate the election office of Prime Minister Narendra Modi here... PM Modi contested election from Kashi at the call of Maa Ganga for the first time in 2014, and then in 2019. I inaugurate­d his election office on both occasions...

All workers of the BJP have to work together to ensure that we fulfil the aim to cross 400 (seats),” he said.

The election office is located at Mehmoorgan­j area of Varanasi.

“We have to take the message of developmen­t done by Narendra Modi to every household,” he said and urged the workers to work towards increasing 300 votes at every booth by telling people about the constructi­on of Ram Temple and the Kashi Vishwanath (KV) Corridor,and the abrogation of Article 370 to ensure the PM’s landslide victory in Varanasi.

He said the constructi­on of KV corridor has helped attract 13 crore tourists to the city.

Kashi region BJP president Dilip Patel, Varanasi district unit president Hansraj Vishwakarm­a and city unit president Vidyasagar Rai welcomed Shah on his arrival to the city. Shah was accompanie­d by BJP national general secretary Sunil Bansal.
