Varanasi: Aam Aadmi Party leader Arvind Kejriwal today arrived in the holy city for a month-long campaign and was greeted with posters that accused him of being a 'deserter', an apparent reference to his resignation as Delhi chief minister within 49 days of taking charge.
Kejriwal, who will fight the BJP's prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi from the Varanasi Lok Sabha seat, reached the city this morning by train and was welcomed by supporters who had gathered at the Cantonment railway station here in large numbers.
While AAP supporters welcomed Kejriwal with flowers, there were also posters in and outside the railway station that labelled the former Delhi chief minister 'bhagoda' (deserter).
AAP supporters removed many such posters, but tight police security ensured that there was no untoward action.
