Gods, Goddesses and Modi in Varanasi

The Bahujan Samaj Party and the Communist Party of India (Marxist) have fielded their candidates.

Electioneering is yet to pick up. A clearer picture is likely to emerge only after Kejriwal begins to campaign here from April 13.

During his maiden visit to Varanasi March 25, Modi supporters had thrown black ink and eggs on Kejriwal's road show.

Instead of tarnishing his image, the incident bolstered Kejriwal's image as a tough match to Modi.

This impression of Kejriwal received a further boost among people of Varanasi when Modi announced to contest also from Vadodara in Gujarat.

Both RSS and AAP volunteers have started coming to Varanasi from different parts of the country to campaign for Modi and Kejriwal.
