Varanasi: In a response to BJP's prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi's rally in Amethi on May 05, Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi will be holding a roadshow here on Saturday.
Modi, by holding a rally in Amethi, had broken the unwritten code between the political bigwigs who avoid campaigning in the constituency of their top rival.
The Gandhi scion will begin his roadshow from the Gol Gadda Chauraha to Lanka in Varanasi city.
Moreover, as per his official programme, he will also address a public meeting later at Sathwan in Chiraigaon block in the holy city.
Besides Gandhi, Samajwadi Party chief Mulayam Singh's son Akhilesh Yadav will also be holding a roadshow in Varanasi.
Earlier during a rally at Sikanderpur in UP, Yadav had said that Modi’s Ganga aarti programme in Varanasi was not a religious one but purely political.
He had also claimed that the BJP would not be able to win more than 150 seats in the ongoing Lok Sabha polls in the country.
