On his visit to Varanasi, Vikrant Massey told ANI, "It's like my second home, this is not my first time in Varanasi. I've been coming here for 10 years now."

Talking about 'Viksit Bharat', Massey said, "It's been quite late but it is finally happening. We all have to make a Viksit Bharat and move forward and unite to become Atmanirbhar (self-reliant). Everyone should go and vote and exercise their right."

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has set the target of building 'Viksit Bharat' -- making India a developed nation -- by 2047 when the country will complete 100 years of independence.

PM Modi has also repeatedly called for making India a self-reliant country.
