PM Narendra Modi arrives in Varanasi, inaugurates trade facilitation centre for weavers - The Times of india sources
VARANASI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday morning arrived in his Lok Sabha constituency Varanasi for the first time after assuming charge, where he is likely to firm up plans for its development.
"I am here as your Sevak, am going to be with you in times of happiness and sadness," the PM said after inaugurating a trade facilitation centre for weavers in Varanasi.
"Varanasi has a very special place in my heart. Varanasi has made me their own. I am here in the midst of my own. The joy is different," Naredra Modi said.
Talking about the textile sector, the PM said that this sector gives employment to poorest of the poor. All sections of society are integrated in this sector.
Every mother wishes that her daughter should wear "Varanasi Sari" on her wedding, the PM said. "Varanasi Sari" has got a huge readymade market in India, he added.
Tight security is in place in the ancient temple town.
According to IG(public grievances) Ashok Jain, 12 SP rank police officials of Uttar Pradesh, 18 additional SPs, 20 deputy SPs, 135 sub-inspectors, besides more than 1000 personnel of the Provincial Armed Constabulary have been deployed.
The Prime Minister's visit, which is likely to last a little over 24 hours, has sent soaring the hope of a better future among residents of the holy town, which has been facing crumbling infrastructure and lack of basic amenities.
Among the oldest cities in the world, Varanasi has been constantly in the spotlight ever since Modi chose to retain the constituency he had won by a huge margin of 3.7 lakh votes, vacating Vadodara in his home state of Gujarat where his victory (by 5.7 lakh votes) was even bigger.
Soon after the Bharatiya Janata Party won the Lok Sabha elections in May, Modi had visited the city and offered prayers at Kashi Vishwanath Mandir and taken part in Ganga Aarti.
