Since 2014 LS polls, Varanasi has been the focal point, be it for politicians or the media. In 2014, BJP’s PM pick Narendra Modi was trying his luck for the first time from Varanasi. Along with Varanasi, Modi was contesting from Vadodara also. While Modi won by a huge margin of 5.7 lakh votes from Vadodara, he won by a margin of 3.37 lakh from Varanasi. Back to 2019, the focus is back on Varanasi with only phase-7 of election left.
