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.
Kejriwal said Rahul Gandhi will lose the election from Varanasi to AAP's Kumar Vishwas by nearly two lakh votes, and urged the people of Varanasi to defeat Modi by a huge margin.
He said he hasn't come to Varanasi with a wish to become a member of Parliament, but to root out corruption in the prevailing political system.
