Mumbai saw people's rush to get glimpse of AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal

MUMBAI: A loud cheer greeted the train as it entered the Churchgate station, turning into a special and chaotic event a fairly aam or ordinary sounding plan as Aam Aadmi Party leader Arvind Kejriwal visited Mumbai on Wednesday.

An early morning flight into Mumbai, a rickshaw ride to Andheri station and then a slow train to Churchgate, the business hub of the city that provides access to key areas such as Nariman Point, Colaba, Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus railway station and Mantralaya. There was nothing spectacular about the itinerary, except that Kejriwal inevitably attracted a crush of onlookers and media teams in addition to his supporters and security cover on his day out in the city in the run-up to the general elections.

“Mujhe usko ek baar dekhna hai (I have to see him once),” a woman could be heard pleading to her husband in the commotion.
