Bhopal: AAP leader Kumar Vishwas has dared BJP President Rajnath Singh and the saffron party's prime ministerial nominee and Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi to contest 2014 Lok Sabha elections from Amethi, constituency of Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi.
"Rajnath Singh and Narendra Modi think of themselves as powerful leaders...they must contest the Lok Sabha elections from Amethi," Vishwas said.
Aam Aadmi Party National Convenor and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal fought his maiden election from New Delhi constituency of former chief minister Sheila Dikshit, defeating her by a huge margin of votes.
Vishwas' name has been doing the rounds as a probable candidate to contest the Lok Sabha polls from Amethi.
The AAP leader compared Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chauhan with Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, saying both may be honest, but ministers under them were corrupt.
"Just as Manmohan may be honest, but ministers under him are corrupt, similarly Chauhan can be honest but ministers under him are corrupt," the AAP leader said.
Vishwas said the BJP, particularly its leader Nitin Gadkari, was floating all kinds of theories about the Congress giving support to AAP.
He said the truth was that the BJP had spent a lot of money for the Assembly elections in New Delhi which it had now lost and hence it was saying all sorts of things.
