New Delhi: The BJP Parliamentary Board on Friday declared that Prime Minister Narendra Modi will be contesting the Lok Sabha polls from Varanasi Parliamentary Constituency, which he is currently representing in Lok Sabha.
A decision in this regard was taken at the BJP Parliamentary Board meeting on Friday, which was held for nearly three hours to discuss key poll-related issues. The prime minister had defeated Aam Aadmi Party chief Arvind Kejriwal with over 3 lakh votes in the last elections, while Congress candidate Ajay Rai was way behind with just 75,000 votes.
In the meeting, the blanket ban on leaders above 75 years of age has been repelled. Any candidate who is capable of winning, even if he or she is above 75, will be given a ticket.
The meeting also discussed the party’s poll preparedness and strategies about the forthcoming elections.
