Special 25 Candidates Are In Fray To Contest Against Narendra Modi in Varanasi

Guwahati: Prime Minister Narendra Modi virtually has no one to give a tight fight in his Varanasi Lok Sabha constituency which is a fact that would be agreed by his worst critics too.

Manav Vishwamanav who is from Andhra Pradesh who wants to draw attention from the Prime Minister towards the plight of farmers. Vishwamanav’s father passed away and his mother works as a coolie in Vishakhapatnam.

Hina Shahid who is the daughter of late Mohammad Shahid who was an Olympian said that she wants to reach the Parliament so that she can raise women issues. She said that she knows that she cannot defeat Modi but then one should not sit at home just because he is a strong candidate.

Another candidate Manish Srivastava has come from Raipur in Chhattisgarh to contest against the prime minister and wants the government to make it compulsory for all government employees to send their children to government schools and avail medical treatment in government hospitals. He further said that this will go a long way in improving these sectors and checking corruption.
