Prime Minister Narendra Modi has secured a remarkable third consecutive win in the Varanasi seat, defeating Congress candidate Ajay Rai. This hard-fought victory came with a margin of 1,52,513 votes, a notable decrease from the 4,79,505 votes in 2019 and 3,71,784 votes in 2014.
During the last election in 2019, Modi defeated SP’s Shalini Yadav with Congress’ Ajay Rai trailing as the runner-up. Similarly, in 2014, Modi outperformed AAP’s Arvind Kejriwal by a significant margin.
Despite the lower victory margin this time, BJP leaders had previously speculated that PM Modi’s win might set a new record in India’s political history.
