PM Modi dedicates success of Operarion Sindoor to feet of ‘Mahadev’ in Varanasi

Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited his parliamentary constituency Varanasi on Saturday, where he inaugurated and laid the foundation stone for development projects worth around ₹2,200 crore. The event, held at Banauli (Kalikadham) in Sevapuri, also marked the release of the 20th installment of the PM-Kisan Samman Nidhi scheme. As part of the scheme, Rs 21,000 crore were directly transferred to the bank accounts of 10 crore farmers across the country.

Addressing a large gathering, the Prime Minister began his speech in Bhojpuri, connecting with the local audience. He referred to the day’s event as a “grand Kisan Utsav,” adding, “And when something goes from Kashi, it automatically becomes prasad.” PM Modi also emphasized the spiritual timing of the gathering, stating, “It is the month of Sawan, the sacred land of Kashi, and an occasion to connect with farmers across the country—what could be more fortunate than this?”
