In his road-side interactive session with the voters, Kejriwal asks, “Has anyone among the present here ever met Modi?” Not a single hand is raised. “If he has not shown his face to the people of Varanasi, will he show his face after the elections?” Kejriwal taunts. This bothers Modi supporters and provokes them to raise the slogan of “Har Har Modi, Ghar Ghar Modi”. Soon they start raining stones and rotten tomatoes on Kejriwal’s entourage. Kejriwal moves on to the next spot. This intimidation tactics compelled the chief priest of the famous Sankat Mochan temple to ask Kejriwal and his volunteers to vacate his guest house and move to another place. Since his arrival in Varanasi on April 15, Kejriwal has been facing low-key violence in the form of stone-throwing, slogan-shouting and black flag demonstration from Modi supporters. https://facebook/notes/nachiketa-journalist/david-versus-goliath-in-varanasi/564848133629645
