| It may not have been a smooth ride to Farrukhabad, but when Arvind Kejriwal finally got there to address a rally of around five thousand people, the activist-turned-politician got straight down to business. "Salman Khurshid had threatened us about this trip. Well, we are here. And we will return safely in a few hours," he said.
This is Mr Khurshid's constituency. When Mr Kejriwal first announced his plans to travel to Mr Khurshid turf in Uttar Pradesh, the union minister had warned, "Let him go. But we will see how he comes back."
Mr Kejriwal has been demanding Mr Khurshid's removal since a TV channel carried detailed report alleging that an NGO headed by the minister and run by his wife embezzled lakhs meant for the differently-abled.
En route to the venue of today's rally, Mr Kejriwal's convoy was blocked briefly by supporters of the minister. Before he arrived at the venue, despite elaborate police arrangements, there were clashes between Congress workers and members of the Bharatiya Kisan Union, an organisation of famers that is supporting Mr Kejriwal.
The windows of a car were smashed by Congress workers as it headed towards the rally ground. The car was packed with farmers heading to the rally.
