During an open interaction with the electorate here, Kejriwal said, "If the people defeat Modi in Varanasi, then no one will make him the Prime Minister of the country... And moreover the BJP will also get finished."
"Loser from Varanasi seat, Modi will not be made PM by anyone," he repeated.
The AAP chief asked the people "if you Varanasi people make Modi win then what will you get, and if you make him lose from here then what will you get?"
"And If you people make him lose from here then a 'maha-kranti' (massive revolution) will take place and the politics of honesty will resurrect from this Varanasi city," he said.
"People are saying here that if Modi becomes Prime Minister then he will make a lot of development of the city... There have been many prime ministers in the country and had they carried out developments in their constituencies... I ask the people here if they (former PMs) could not do so, then will Modi do it?" he said.
Kejriwal asked the people not to get befooled by Modi.
The Aam Aadmi Party leader, accompanied by his family members, today arrived in the holy city for a month-long campaign.
He also trained his guns on Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi.
