Arvind Kejriwal vs Narendra Modi in 2024? AAP releases poster for nation building

Delhi assembly election 2020: A poster of Arvind Kejriwal urging citizens to call on a helpline number to give their inputs for nation-building has been put up outside the AAP headquarters in Delhi. AAP started the outreach programme soon after the early trends poured in indicating a huge win for the party.  

Another poster of 'Arvind Kejriwal vs Narendra Modi 2024' was spotted at AAP's party house on Tuesday, during the vote counting. An AAP supporter was holding the poster outside the party office, pitching Arvind Kejriwal as a PM candidate for Lok Sabha election 2024. The banner read '2024: Kejriwal vs Modi'.

Arvind Kejriwal has always remained  a fierce opponent of Narendra Modi. In fact, the ongoing Delhi election is seen as 'Kejriwal vs Modi', rather than 'AAP vs BJP' battle.  This year, Amit Shah had announced that the Delhi polls will be fought under the leadership of PM Modi without announcing BJP's CM candidate. Thereafter,  AAP fiercely raised slogan- "Kejriwal versus Who" in their campaign.
