Union Law Minister Kapil Sibal on Wednesday said the upcoming Lok Sabha elections will give an opportunity to the people to decide whether they want peace and harmony or anarchy and divisiveness in the nation.

"The fact is what is the fight today? What are the challenges before the country today? Is it the united nature or the divisiveness? Peace and harmony or anarchy in the country. We need a democracy that does not discriminate. Where everybody is taken aboard in the development process," Sibal told media here today.

"There is a challenge whether the country would accept somebody's lies or the real truth. Some people are telling lies on the stage and on the roads. Now, it is up to the people to believe in this," he added.

Taking a dig at both Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) chief Arvind Kejriwal, Sibal said, "There are two Kejriwals now. One is Arvind Kejriwal and other is Narendra Kejriwal. Both of them are selling dreams to the people. One is selling dreams in the air and the other on the streets."

He also said that the people of the country will decide whether they are going to buy a dream or what is happened on the ground by hard work, persistence and commitment of the Congress.
