When asked about why he wanted to contest from Varanasi, Yadav said, "When PM Modi can get the blessing from Lord Shiva, why can't I. I will take the blessing and will contest from Varanasi. PM Modi often said that he supports security forces while addressing people in rallies across the country. A jawan is fighting against him now, let him show support for me."

"I am not against anyone, this is a fight between truth and false. PM Modi is professing lies and since Varanasi is his constituency, I am here to bring out the lies in front of the people," he added.
