VARANASI — Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited his parliamentary constituency and offered prayers at the Kashi Vishwanath temple on Monday, four days after he steered the BJP to power in New Delhi with a resounding victory of 303 seats in the Lok Sabha. The thanksgiving visit to this temple town is his first since he won the Varanasi Lok Sabha seat with a huge margin of 4.79 lakh votes, nearly 1 lakh votes more since 2014. The visit is aimed at thanking people for again reposing their faith in him and offering prayers at the famous temple. Day after tomorrow, I will be in Kashi to thank people of this great land for reposing their faith in me. In a video message ahead of the May 19 polling, Modi called himself a “Kashivasi” and termed the city his guiding spirit.
