Crowds cheered and showered flower petals on Narendra Modi's cavalcade as he held a mega roadshow in Varanasi, drumming up support for BJP candidates ahead of the last phase of the assembly polls in Uttar Pradesh. PM Modi stood in an open-roof vehicle as the convoy travelled over three kilometres through the holy city, part of the prime minister's Lok Sabha constituency. Crowds followed Modi all through the roadshow and many people stood on balconies and rooftops, waving at him.
