The Bharatiya Janata Party and its Prime Ministerial candidate Narendra Modi's rally in Varanasi held on Friday was a huge success and brought smile on the party's cadre. Modi, along with party president Rajnath Singh and other leaders, visited the Kashi Vishwanath and Sankat Mochan temples before coming to the rally in the Raja Talab area on the outskirts of Varanasi. “I have come from the land of Somnath to seek the blessings of Baba Vishwanath,” said Modi addressing the massive public.

Modi spoke for about 45 minutes and through out his speech the focus was on the Ganga river. He slammed the UPA government for not implementing the measures taken to clean the Ganga river. Modi also claimed, UP is the god of development but it has been ignored by the leaders and governments that were brought into power by the people.
