From 'vikas' ki Ganga to 'damru' of development, PM Modi's top quotes in Varanasi

"The Kashi-- which is called more ancient than the time itself -- its identity is being empowered by the young generation responsibly. This scene satisfies my heart, makes me feel proud and also gives the confidence that the youth will take the country to new heights on Amrit Kaal."
