Prime Minister Narendra Modi will on Tuesday file his nomination from Varanasi Lok Sabha constituency, in a bid to secure a third consecutive term from this Uttar Pradesh seat, which the PM wrested in 2014. On the eve of filing the nomination, PM Modi held a massive raodshow in Varanasi on Monday evening. Voting in Varanasi will be held on June 1 in the seventh and last phase of Lok Sabha elections 2024. Ahead of filing the nomination, PM Modi posted a video on his X account highlighting the work done in Varanasi over the last 10 years by his government.

The video was captioned: "My relationship with my Kashi is amazing, inseparable and incomparable… all I can say is that it cannot be expressed in words!"

In the video, PM Modi can be heard saying that in the past ten years he has developed a bond with Kashi which is similar to that of a mother and son.
