Narendra Modi Performs Ganga Aarti in Varanasi
NEWS: On May 8, after being denied permission by the Varanasi district administration to perform Ganga Aarti, Narendra Modi tweeted: "My profound apologies to Ganga Maa for not being able to perform Aarti today." After leading his party, and the alliance led by it, to a landslide victory in the Lok Sabha polls, the BJP's prime ministerial candidate reached Varanasi to take part in the ritual.
Accompanied by party president Rajnath Singh and general secretary Amit Shah, architect of the BJP's sensational victory in Uttar Pradesh, where it won 71 of the 80 seats, Mr Modi reached the brightly-lit Dashashwamedh Ghat soon after darkness fell.
The famous ghat, venue of the 'Maha Aarti' ceremony, has been spruced up with flowers and banners. Red carpets had been laid out. The ghat has, in fact, turned saffron with flags and BJP workers donning party colours.
The boats, a familiar sight at the ghat, have been asked to stay away for a while. The spot where the 'Puja' is to be performed is awash with rose petals. Mr Modi sat with folded hands.
