"What this media is showing is like offering opium. Don't loose your sense. If you chant Modi-Modi like a blind follower, you will regret it later," he said.

Taking a dig at opposition parties for calling him a "bhagoda" (deserter) for quitting the post of Delhi Chief Minister in just 49 days, Kejriwal said, "Thank god BJP was not there when God Ram went in exile for 14 years. Otherwise, they would have pasted posters all across Ayodhya, showing Ram as a 'bhagoda'."

Kejriwal also cited the example of former PM Lal Bahadur Shastri, who was born in Ramnagar. "Lal Bahadur Shastri resigned for his principles. I would do the same thing like Shastri. I would not hesitate to resign a 100 times for principles," Kejriwal said.

Asking the crowd if policemen here took bribe, Kejriwal said if his government came to power, all such things would be stopped like it happened during his 49-day government in Delhi.
