<p>On his maiden tour of Bangalore, campaigning for the Lok Sabha elections, Aam Aadmi Party leader Arvind Kejriwal was given a warm reception by the Karnataka cadre of the party. <br /><br /></p>.<p>Immersed in electioneering, Kejriwal took some time off during a pit stop to speak to Sandeep Moudgal of Deccan Herald about his perception on the AAP’s chances in the parliamentary polls, B S Yeddyurappa and the possibility of pitting himself against the BJP prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi in Varanasi.<br /><br />DH: Can AAP connect with South India as it has with citizens in the northern part of the country?<br /><br />AK: Truth and honesty have no boundaries. It does not matter which part of the country you are from, when it comes to such issues.<br /><br />How many seats do you expect to win nationwide? Do you expect a victory in Bangalore?<br /><br />(Smiling) We expect to win not less than 100 seats nationwide. Hope to sweep all the three seats in Bangalore.<br /><br />Your take on Yeddyurappa who had to bow out of office due to corruption charges and then re-entered the BJP...<br /><br />The entire nation has only one opinion about Yeddyurappa. He is the reason for the loot of wealth in Karnataka by way of mining. I was wondering the other day, God forbid, if Narendra Modi becomes the prime minister, then Amit Shah will be the Home minister and Yeddyurappa the Mines minister. Unimaginable.<br /><br />If AAP comes back to power in Delhi Assembly elections, will you then take up the reins of the government?<br /><br />The position of the chief minister is not mine. Let the elections be done with and I will tell you.<br /><br />On him likely to contest in Varanasi against Narendra Modi?<br /><br />Modi himself is the candidate in waiting for a ticket from Varanasi. Let them announce their decision and I will tell mine.</p>
