As Narendra Modi decided to contest from Varanasi, the ancient holy town on the banks of Ganga, cleaning of the river was one of his promises which struck a chord with many. More so because the work done by Gujarat government on the Sabarmati river front was highlighted by the BJP.
After leading his party to a clear majority in the Lok Sabha polls, Modi again went to Varanasi where he prayed to the river Ganga.
And now with Modi at the helm, Bharti is the minister whose mandate is to implement the key project which is not just a matter of conviction for her but also a promise made by the Prime Minister.
