Swara asked people to elect an honest parliamentarian who can take up their cause with the government as she ranted against the BJP and Prime Minister Narendra Modi with appeals that they have to pick right candidates for 572 member Lok Sabha. However, Swara was immediately snubbed by a section of the voters who corrected her and asked to keep herself updated.

Meanwhile several BJP supporters also allegedly pitched in the roadshow and picked an argument with Swara and Jignesh Mevani. They raised slogans in favour of BJP and shouted at the duo with remarks that they will vote only for Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Speaking exclusively to ETV Bharat, Gujarat leader Jignesh Mevani said that AAP has provided basic amenities to everyone in the national capital and made a place in the hearts of the people of Delhi.

Mevani said people want a good leader who can provide them educational institutions and better health services.

When Mevani was questioned about Modi wave prevailing in the country, he said "there is no Modi wave as PM had made false promises and failed people".
