New Delhi, April 2 (IANS) All the six former ministers of the AAP Delhi government will reach out to voters in Varanasi, where party chief Arvind Kejriwal faces Narendra Modi, and Amethi, where Kumar Vishwas will battle Rahul Gandhi.
After the April 10 Lok Sabha elections in Delhi, the entire team of the former cabinet ministers will leave for Uttar Pradesh for campaigning, a party leader told IANS.
"The former ministers will be able to showcase party's achievements in government in Delhi. They will camp in Amethi and Varanasi," a senior party leader said.

"Yes, we all will go to Varanasi and Amethi after Delhi elections," one of the former AAP ministers confirmed to IANS. He however did not wish to be identified by name.
Besides, the half of AAP's Delhi volunteers will throng the two constituencies for campaigning.
"We have around 30 to 40,000 volunteers and half of them will be sent to help the unit of Varanasi and Amethi," another party leader told IANS.
Party sources told IANS that Birla might gather Dalit votes in the state.
"After all she is AAP's Mayawati," a party leader said, referring to the Bahujan Samaj Party supremo and the former chief minster of Uttar Pradesh.
