He will also attend the aarti at Dashashwamedh Ghat subsequently.

Party's Kashi region president, Dillip Patil said that this will be Modi's first visit to the holy Hindu town after the formation of the Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led NDA government for the third time at the Centre, reported IANS. 

Navratan Rathi, Kashi region BJP media in-charge said that the farmers' conference may be held in Rohania or Sevapuri Assembly constituency and that the party's Kashi region unit is working to select a venue.

Modi won the Varanasi Lok Sabha seat during the recently concluded Lok Sabha polls for a third time.

The Bharatiya Janata Party-led NDA came back to the Centre for a third term clincing 293 of the 543 seats. The saffron party, however, fell short of the majority and bagged 240 seats and was left at the mercy of alliance partners, Telugu Desam Party and Janata Dal (United) to form the government.
