AAP volunteers had distributed among the people small pieces of paper to write their questions meant for Kejriwal. People had started trickling in around 4 p.m. -- and waited till Kejriwal arrived at 6.
After a brief speech in which he urged the people to defeat Modi in Varanasi and Congress leader Rahul Gandhi in Amethi to unleash a revolution to wipe out corruption, Kejriwal answered questions from the audience.
Referring to the posters at the railway station that dubbed him a "bhagoda" (absconder), Kejriwal asked: "If I am an absconder, how come I am here to challenge Modi?"
But he admitted that he should have held a referendum in Delhi before resigning as chief minister, the same way he sought people's views before forming a minority government with Congress backing.
"I admit my mistake," he said to a question as to why he did not consult people before taking such a drastic step.
