VARANASI: Boat owner Prabhu Sahani backed Narendra Modi as his MP in the 2014 general election. But the Indian prime minister will not be getting his vote when the ancient city on the Ganges goes to the polls again tomorrow.

“He doesn’t understand Varanasi,” complained Sahani, 34, whose boats ferry tourists and pilgrims along the holy river.
