Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday filed his nomination from the Varanasi Lok Sabha seat. He was accompanied by BJP top brass including Amit Shah, Rajnath Singh, and other NDA leaders.

Modi filed his nomination from the constituency after offering prayers at the Dashashwamedh Ghat and the Kaal Bhairav temple in Varanasi.

On the occasion, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath also accompanied Modi to the district magistrate’s office in Varanasi for his nomination filing from the constituency.

Modi has remained undefeated from the constituency since 2014, when he contested Lok Sabha elections for the first time. Currently, he is eyeing a hattrick from the Varanasi Lok Sabha seat.

Taking to micro-blogging site—X, he said, “My relationship with my Kashi is amazing, inseparable and incomparable... all I can say is that it cannot be expressed in words!"

Earlier, on Monday Modi held a grand roadshow on the five kilometer stretch in Varanasi.

He also posted a clip from his Monday's roadshow on—X and said, "The love and blessings that my family members of Kashi showered on me during the road show has become an unforgettable moment in my life."

The voting in Varanasi will take place in the seventh phase of the ongoing Lok Sabha elections on June 1.
