Amit Shah inaugurates ‘mini PMO’ in Varanasi

August 21, 2014 02:19 am | Updated 02:19 am IST - VARANASI:

The Bharatiya Janata Party’s national president Amit Shah on Wednesday inaugurated the public relations office of Prime Minister Narendra Modi here.

Addressing party workers and supporters, Mr Shah said he was honoured to inaugurate the office, which he added would act as a bridge between the people of Varanasi and their MP.

“I am aware of the plans Modiji has for Kashi but I will neither announce them here nor discuss them. All I can say is that after five years, visitors will see Varanasi with awe and admiration,” Mr Shah said while recalling the development work done by Modi in Maninagar in Gujarat from where he was a BJP legislator for long.

Even Mr. Modi had not gauged the changes in Maninagar till someone showed him a film on what the city was earlier and after the development.

The 5,000-square-feet office in Ravindrapuri is being touted as a ‘mini PMO’ by locals who are excited that they would now get to petition the PM directly through this office. An RSS office-bearer Shiv Charan Pathak has been entrusted with the task of running the office.
