PM Modi said the love of the people of Varanasi has made him feel that the Ganga has adopted him.
Days after taking the oath of office again, Prime Minister Narendra Modi is visiting Varanasi for the first time after the constituency elected him as its Member of Parliament for the third consecutive term.
Addressing a massive crowd at a Kisan Samman Sammelan, a farmer event, on Tuesday along with Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and others, PM Modi said the love of the people of Varanasi has made him feel that the Ganga has adopted him.
The Prime Minister has also released Rs 20,000 crore as part of the 17th instalment of the Kisan Samman Nidhi, an income support scheme under which farmers get up to Rs 6,000 per year. He will visit the Kashi Vishwanath temple later in the day.
