Two ensure that AAP convener’s rally is successful, several AAP leaders, including Sanjay Singh, and hundreds of party supporters have already started arriving in Varanasi.
The party is expecting that around 1 lakh people would attend the rally. AAP volunteers have created `Chalo Benaras` hashtag on microblogging site Twitter and this hashtag is trending quite well.
The AAP has chosen Benaras instead of Varanasi because majority of people in this city still prefer the old name, reports said.
