Prime Minister Narendra Modi at a rally in South Delhi's Ambedkar Nagar.
New Delhi: At his last rally ahead of Saturday's assembly elections, Prime Minister Narendra Modi swept aside opinion poll predictions that say Arvind Kejriwal's Aam Aadmi Party is gaining in the race for Delhi.
"Do not listen to lies... The BJP will get full majority," he said in south Delhi's Ambedkar Nagar.
Mr Kejriwal, who is running for chief minister had challenged PM Modi in his constituency Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh, in the national elections last year.
PM Modi recalled what he called the hype then over Mr Kejriwal's campaign and said, "When I was fighting Lok Sabha polls from Varanasi, surveys predicted I would lose badly but I won. The survey said I would lose with a difference of 3 lakh votes."
"I am a Dilliwallah now, I live here," the PM said, adding that he was therefore "equally responsible" for its development. He emphasized on the BJP's pro-poor agenda - a promise addressed at the low-income groups that were seen as a votebank of AAP.
Three constituencies in the area where PM Modi held his rally today had elected AAP candidates last time.
While he also attacked the Congress, the bulk of his criticism was directed at Mr Kejriwal and AAP.
"Someone called me and asked me the other day, have you also donated money? When I inquired, I came to know that even Mahatma Gandhi has made a donation, also Obama, and me," he said. "What sort of people are these?"
In his rally yesterday, the Prime Minister had ripped apart Mr Kejriwal, saying "Those who posed as Mr Clean have now been exposed as dishonest".
"This is not a government of scams or scamsters or of the people who seek the help of scamsters," he said today.
