Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday said India will become a model of development in the next five years, adding that it is the "Modi guarantee".

Modi reached his Varanasi parliamentary constituency on Thursday night and is scheduled to launch several development projects and address public meetings.

He interacted with winners of the 'Sansad Sanskrit Pratiyogita' at the Banaras Hindu University (BHU) here.

"Kashi is now being seen as a model of development and heritage across the world. The world is witnessing today how modernity is developed around culture and tradition," the prime minister said in his address at the university.

"In the next five years, the country will become a model of development. This is the Modi guarantee," he added.

The echo of India's rich heritage, Modi told the gathering, is being heard all over the world.
