Will Kejriwal contest against Modi in Varanasi?

March 16, 2014 14:41

Aam Aadmi Party leader Arvind Kejriwal on Sunday kept up the suspense on whether he would contest against Narendra Modi in Varanasi, saying he would talk on the issue at the party's Bangalore rally. The rally is about to begin in a short while.

"Many people asking me -- "will i contest against Modi ji?" I will talk on this issue in today's rally at Bangalore," Kejriwal wrote in his post on the microblogging site Twitter.

His remarks came a day after the Bharatiya Janata Party announced its prime ministerial candidate Modi would contest the Varanasi seat in Uttar Pradesh.

The Aam Aadmi Party has hinted at a direct fight between Modi and Kejriwal in the 2014 polls. Earlier, Pary leader Sanjay Singh had appealed to Kejriwal to contest against Modi from Varanasi.
