Kejriwal to tour Varanasi villages to woo rural voters
March 26, 2014
After deciding to take on Narendra Modi in Varanasi, AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal will today go on a road show in the constituency especially villages to woo rural voters.

Varanasi has five constituencies of which three - Varanasi North, South and Cantonment Assembly segments are largely urban and semi-urban in nature.

The road show will focus on Rohania and Sevapuri Assembly constituencies.

Kejriwal had yesterday accepted the challenge to contest against Modi from this temple city.

Ending weeks of suspense on whether he will directly take on Modi, Kejriwal had made the announcement at a rally here, asserting he wanted to "defeat corrupt people". "I am ready to face this challenge, but I will need your support. I don't have money to contest election. And like Madan Mohan Malviya, who built the Benaras Hindu University, seeking alms from people, even I shall have to do the same way," he had said.
