Why Varanasi?
Modi has very cleverly silenced his critics by opting for out of Gujarat but equally safe Varansi seat. He also has plan B by filing nomination from Vadodra.
All major parties i.e. SP/BSP/Cong in UP are fielding their own candidates resulting in division of anti BJP voters and neutral voters. All these parties have cast and community based vote bank.
Third most important factor is that Varansi people seems to be more concerned with local development of roads, parks type of public amenities than real national issues like corruption, castism, crony capitalism etc. They may think that Modi will be in a better position to develop Varansi, being at the top position in the Government.
Objective of AAP is to make others feel its presence in LS by winning as many seats as possible. AAP can raise voice to prevent Govt. from any corruption oriented decision in LS only when it has sufficient seats making it difficult for Govt. to ignore.
To achieve above target, will it not be advisable for Kejriwal to fight and win from some other seat? I am sure that he is bound to win from any other seat by big margin. We need him in parliament take our anti corruption revolution further.
I WELCOME YOUR DIFFERENT VIEWS TO ENABLE ME TO STOP WORRING AND START SUPPORTING KEJRIWAL’S DECISION TO FIGHT FROM VARANSI. more
