Following Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s decision to attend Ravidas Jayanti programme in Varanasi on February 22, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal too will be in the city on the same day to offer prayers at Ravidas Temple.

The two leaders had contested the Varanasi Lok Sabha elections in 2014 with the PM emerging victorious in the end. It will be Kejriwal’s first visit to Varanasi after Lok Sabha polls.

Also, both the PM and Delhi CM will be attending Ravidas Jayanti programmes in Varanasi for the first time. While Modi is proposed to address a public gathering of Ravidas followers near the temple, the Aam Aami Party (AAP) UP unit has not yet received a detailed programme from Kejriwal.

“Arvind Kejriwal is visiting Varanasi on Ravidas Jayanti to offer prayer at Ravidas temple. But a detailed programme of his entire schedule is yet to be received,” said Vaibhav Maheshwari, AAP’s UP spokesperson.
