Bangalore: Will it be an Arvind Kejriwal vs Narendra Modi contest in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections? The Aam Aadmi Party chief has promised to talk about the issue today which has been a subject of intense speculation in the last few weeks.
"Many people asking me - "will i contest against Modi ji?" I will talk on this issue in today's rally at Bangalore," tweeted Mr Kejriwal. He will address a rally at the city's Freedom Park ground which will wrap up his two-day tour of Karnataka.
Mr Kejriwal now plans to address a rally from the very constituency, in a further sign that a face-off between the leading faces of the two parties in the Lok Sabha polls is imminent.
The AAP has, in the last few weeks, dropped strong hints that Mr Kejriwal may fight Mr Modi if the latter contests from Varanasi, or anywhere outside Gujarat. Party leader Yogendra Yadav had, in fact, told NDTV that Mr Kejriwal "would be looking at where Mr Modi is contesting." Earlier, his colleague Manish Sisodia had also said, "Mr Kejriwal will ask Modi questions from Varanasi."
The one-year-old AAP will contest the national election for the first time since its dazzling debut in the Delhi polls in December on the back of an unconventional campaign and a promise to root out corruption and VIP culture.
