He will find volunteers. He has got some solid support among Muslims and some left leaning nutjob local intellectuals. Cant say about all booths, but he will find volunteers for visible ones.
And I dont think all of his people will leave Varanasi. No party complies fully to this rule.

remember @levina you said that he is not a hypocrite. when he refused to wear the muslim cap, you said he is true to himself and everyone and not pretending otherwise, now look at him for votes...
Unlike the rude replies you have gotten so far, I will reply
@Leader touching the feet of an elder is a sign of respect.
Modi is just doing that

Obviously you do not understand sarcasm. That was Swamy's jibe on congressies who were trying to question Modi's OBC status and trip him for allegedly manipulating it.

Despite her efforts, the drifting of the second layer of dalit voters - pasis, dhobis, valmikis, khatiqs and dushads - to BJP is quite obvious. They may not be going en bloc, but a section is certainly opting for the saffron party as an alternative. "Communal polarization, of course, is one reason for this. But this is also happening because of the alienation of these castes which account for 45% of dalit voters," an observer said.
Jatavs, the "creamy layer", who account for 55% of the total dalit population, are still staunch Maya supporters. Also called Chamars, they are the ones who have seen maximum progress during her rule while others have remained virtually untouched. This is the reason for a collective disenchantment among non-Jatavs.
Political observers feel this is the reason Mayawati, who often ignores political barbs, is now reacting sharply, especially when BJP's Prime Minister pick Narendra Modi plays the caste card.
On Friday, she called a news conference just to announce that she won't have any truck with a BJP-led alliance after the results.
"Earlier, when she spoke against BJP, it was primarily to assure Muslims that she would never side with the saffron party, hoping a big chunk of minority voters, apparently unhappy with Samajwadi Party, would consider BSP as an option. But now her rants against BJP is aimed at cautioning dalits - BSP's core voters - against falling into the saffron party's trap," a political analyst said.
This frontal attack became even more essential for Maya when she came to know about BJP's ploy of telling dalit voters in the west that if they supported BJP in the Lok Sabha elections, the party would help Behenji in the state polls three years from now.
So, rally after rally, she has been cautioning dalits not to get swayed by BJP's machinations. Her reaction got even more shrill when Modi in his eastern UP rallies suddenly pulled out the caste card and started projecting himself as a backward leader. "Is it a sin to be born in a low caste (neech)?" he said in Domariyanganj, in a reaction to Priyanka Gandhi's remark that he (Modi) indulged in "neech rajniti (low-level politics)".
The retort to Modi's question, however, came not from Congress but from Behenji, who dared Modi to reveal his caste and called upon dalits not to get influenced by his low-caste avatar as a new 'messiah' of the downtrodden.

Rahul baba's road show begins from Gol Gadda (muslim locality). Just yesterday was discussing the same with one of my Muslim friends here in Mumbai and he said Muslims are now a piece of cake for all the parties (except offcourse....) and everyone wants a bite.
He is originally from Gazipur near Varanasi and says his family had always voted for Congress and SP. This time they are confused. Infact, he and his brother (shia family) are voting for Modi. He himself has been to Bharuch/ Surat and says if ever UP Muslims get a chance to see there muslim brethren in Gujarat (especially South Gujarat) how prosperous they are, BJP will be way stronger among the community.

There was a study done in Gujarat, where urbanised Muslims, Dalits and OBC's voted more for BJP.
So Narendra Modi's long term strategy should be urbanisation of India.

This idiot kejri said the same thing when Delhi was on poll. He claimed that His part will get absolute majority and Loka pal will be passed on soem particular date on Ram lila maidan, How ever the opinion poll turned out to be more real than the Opinion poll of Kejri. He couldn't pass lok pal bill.
