Expressing gratitude, Shri Modi conveyed reverence for Mother Ganges and the holy city of Varanasi, and said, I am grateful to the people of Kashi for the affection.

I want to serve the weavers here. May Kashi emerge as the spiritual capital,” said Shri Modi, even as he shared his vision to empower the Bunkar community in the region by introducing technology upgradations and branding.
