Broom Caps Hit the Street and In Strength

Varanasi April 27. Lull is broken and broom caps hit the street and in strength. 60 hours after Narendra Modi's road show Arvind Kejriwal demonstrated his determination and zeal to take on BJP's Prime Ministerial candidate. And the venue was most appropriate- the Lanka locality, near Banaras Hindu University.

                            About 10 thousand  strong and attentive crowd cheered Kejriwal intermittently  though there was also jeer shouts of Modi, Modi from a short distance. BHU students, young boys and girls, were part of the crowd and left the venue only after listening  farewell slogan of Bharat Nata Ki Jai.

                            I heard two students standing nearby. One broom capped asked his friend about elections- reply was Agli Baar Modi Sarkar. The sentiments of youths are divided in such a way that Kejriwal himself get amused when he read a question sent by an audience. Aap leader reading the chit said with a smile- one Vijay Sonkar says that he is a Modi supporter; who he should vote for? Aap leader said he had put his case before the people, now do what ever your conscious tells you.    

                           It is still a hazy scenario in Varanasi; as Kejriwal moves in Muslim localities, people are appeared inclined towards his narratives. Muslims appreciate Kejriwal's frontal attack  on Modi, who is still a nightmare for minority community. Polarization of Muslims in favour of Kejriwal will drastically change the election calculations; it will fetch about 100000 + votes to Kejriwal, enough to challenge formidable Modi. Modi is still a favourite but it will not be a walk over as road show analysts are predicting.
