On the afternoon of 24th April 2014, Shri Narendra Modi filed his nomination papers in Varanasi. Lakhs of supporters gathered to welcome him as he travelled across the streets of the city and cheered him enthusiastically. Here are a few glimpses:

The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi shared a Sanskrit Subhashitam-
“प्रभया हि विना यद्वद् भानुरेष न विद्यते।
प्रभा च भानुना तेन सुतरां तदुपाश्रया॥”
The Subhashitam conveys that just as the Sun cannot be perceived without its light, so too light cannot exist without the Sun. Thus, the entire existence and power of the Sun and its light are entirely dependent upon each other.
The Prime Minister wrote on X;
प्रभया हि विना यद्वद् भानुरेष न विद्यते।
प्रभा च भानुना तेन सुतरां तदुपाश्रया॥
प्रभया हि विना यद्वद् भानुरेष न विद्यते।
