"My only aim is defeating (Arvind) Kejriwal. I will defeat him with such a margin that he could even lose his deposit," Verma said in an exclusive interview to ABP News.

"Kejriwal has been lying in the three elections. But this time it is not going to work because people understand that Kejriwal only lies," he further said. 

Speaking on AAP's allegations against him of distributing cash, the BJP leader said, "When Kejriwal promised to give Rs 2,100 and if he levelling allegations against me, then he is also accusing himself. He is saying that if you vote for AAP, he will give you Rs 2,100. I said that the announcement of the election date has not been announced. His government has Rs 75,000 crore budget. But I can only spend the money which my organisation has."
