Speaking about the Lok Sabha election Kejriwal said that the BJP would not win more than 180 seats and that Modi won't be India's PM. He said that AAP would defeat both Narendra Modi from Varanasi and Rahul Gandhi from Amethi.

"We will win the two seats that will change the political discourse of the country: Amethi and Varanasi. If BJP wins over 200 seats, but loses Varanasi, do you think that victory will hold any meaning for the party?

Similarly, Congress' loss in Amethi will spell doom for its leadership even if it manages to emerge as the single largest party," Kejriwal said.
