NARENDRA Modi is contesting from Varanasi for the Lok Sabha election. This step is laden with an ominous political message. The BJP and the RSS are signaling that aggressive Hindutva will underpin the election campaign. Though the BJP has officially not given any reason for Modi contesting from Varanasi, it has briefed the media that putting up Modi in Varanasi will benefit the party in the Lok Sabha elections in Eastern Uttar Pradesh and the adjoining areas in Bihar. Such reasoning is only a smokescreen.
