However, the IAC activists and Kejriwal have decided to take on the minister in his own constituency where they will reveal the corruption charges against him before his voters.
The protest could turn violent as the supporters of Khurshid would try their best to create ruckus or blockades along the way to Farrukhabad so that Kejriwal would not be able to reach the protest site. They are reportedly planning to wave black flags demonstration against the IAC.
