Narendra Modi, on the 27th of May, visited Varanasi to perform rituals at the Kashi Vishwanath Temple.
This is the first visit of Mr. Modi to Varanasi after winning the Lok Sabha elections as the Member of Parliament from the Constituency.
Acharya Ashok Dwivedi, the Priest of the Kashi Vishwanath Temple said, “This is our fortune that Prime Minister will perform puja with all rituals like he did in 2014 Lok Sabha and state elections. He is the biggest devotee of Vishwanath baba. Even before the rituals start, he devotes himself to god, you can see tears of devotion in his eye.”
Post the pooja, Mr. Modi addressed Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) workers around 12:00 P.M., at Deendayal Hasthkala Sankul, Varanasi.
