Days after Narendra Modi took on Rahul Gandhi in Amethi, the Congress Vice President today retaliated by campaigning on the last day in the temple town of Varanasi, where the BJP's Prime Ministerial candidate is in the fray. Donning a Gandhi cap, the 43-year-old leader flanked by Congress candidate Ajay Rai began his road show in a Muslim-dominated Gol Gadda area, waving to supporters who surrounded his vehicle.

Rahul's road show follows a massive one conducted by Aam Aadmi Party challenger Arvind Kejriwal on Friday and another one by Modi the day before. The road show is to conclude after about ten kms at Lanka near BHU gate, the same place where Kejriwal and Modi had begun their road shows.

In his last push before campaigning ends this evening, Kejriwal was conducting another road show today, while SP leader and UP Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav also had one scheduled.
