This area adjoining Banaras Hindu University (BHU) has a VVIP address — the public relations office of Varanasi’s local MP and Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi . Four out of five MLAs in Varanasi parliamentary constituency belong to the BJP and one to Apna Dal, an ally. In fact, the PM bundled all the big and small projects in one basket to make a no-holds-barred pitch for development. There were sub-Rs 1 crore projects as well. And 60% work is completed on the 22 km city road in Babatpur (where the airport is located) to Varanasi city road.
