Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday launched a scathing attack on Aam Aadmi Party chief Arvind Kejriwal at his first campaign rally in Delhi saying "anarchists" can never run stable governments.

"If you want to be an anarchist, go and join the Naxals. There is no place in Delhi for people who call themselves anarchists," Modi said taking a dig at the former delhi chief minister's famous claim.

Playing to the large crowd which had gathered at the Ramlila Maidan, Modi said "Have you heard any leaders call themselves anarchists?"

Modi appealed to the voters to "punish" AAP candidates this time for "wasting one year of the people of Delhi" and to give the Bhartiya Janata Party a chance.

"People who are experts at street protests and agitations should be given that job. We are experts at running good governments; give us that job," he said in an obvious reference to Kejriwal

Modi also made a pro-poor pitch at the rally saying that if the BJP is voted to power he will ensure proper houses for all slum-dwellers in the Capital by 2022.

BJP president Amit Shah said that ever since Prime Minister Narendra Modi assumed power, prices of essential commodities have come down, resulting in the saving of Rs.1,500-4,500 per month in household expenditure.

He said prices of petrol, which increased unabated during the UPA rule, have been reduced a number of times during the seven months of the Modi government.

Union ministers Arun Jaitley, M Venkaiah Naidu and Piyush Goyal  and the chief ministers of Maharashtra, Haryana and Chhattisgarh attended the campaign rally.
