Prime Minister Narendra Modi will be filing his nomination papers from the Varanasi Lok Sabha seat on May 14. A day ahead of the big day, the Prime Minister lead a five-kilometre long roadshow in the temple town.
The PM garlanded a statue of educationist and social reformer Madan Mohan Malviya at the Malviya Chauraha in the Lanka area of Varanasi before beginning the roadshow.
According to BJP insiders, PM Modi will stay in his parliamentary constituency for about 22 hours. He reportedly will file his nomination at 11:40 am on May 14 in Varanasi, which is an extremely auspicious period as it falls under the ‘Abhijit Mahurat’ and ‘Anand Yog’ as per Hindu Panchang.
Pandit Ganeshwar Shastri Dravid, who gave the auspicious time for the consecration and foundation stone laying of the Ram temple in Ayodhya, has described the auspicious time of May 14 as the best.
According to Ganeshwar Shastri Dravid, Pushya Nakshatra will start from 01:43 am on May 13, and will continue till 3:10 pm on May 14. After this Ashlesha Nakshatra will start. According to the horoscope of Prime Minister Modi, both the constellations are favourable for him.
The PM will be visiting the famous Kal Bhairav Temple before filing his nomination and will hold a meeting with BJP leaders and with party workers later on. Among his proposers in the nomination form, there is expected to be a lady and other prominent intellectuals.
The PM visited the Kashi Vishwanath temple after the conclusion of his road show. Uttar Pradesh CM Yogi Adityanath was present on the Rath along with PM during the 5-km long road show.
The BJP has fixed the aim of raising PM Modi’s victory margin this time beyond 7 lakh votes. Modi’s Margin in 2019 was 4.8 lakh with a 64% Vote Share, while his margin in 2014 was 3.7 lakh votes. Modi’s votes have also been increasing from 5.81 lakh votes in 2014 to 6.75 lakh votes last time.
