As he came out of the DM office, Modi was flanked by Union Home Minister Amit Shah, BJP national president JP Nadda, Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde and his Uttar Pradesh counterpart Yogi Adityanath.

In 2014, Modi contested from two seats, Gujarat's Gandhinagar and Uttar Pradesh's Varanasi. After winning from both the seats, Modi held on to Varanasi, which is located in the state which has 80 Lok Sabha MPs.

In 2019, Modi was re-elected to Lok Sabha from the same constituency.
