Former Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal made headlines in Chennai by declaring Chief Minister MK Stalin as the undisputed choice for Tamil Nadu, with no viable alternatives in sight. Speaking to reporters after a joint roadshow with Stalin, the AAP national convenor outlined why the DMK leader commands such unwavering support.
Over the last five years, Tamil Nadu has transformed significantly, Kejriwal noted, crediting Stalin’s visionary leadership. He praised the CM for consistently raising his voice on critical national matters and standing solidly by AAP during tough times. ‘The people love Stalin; our roadshow yesterday drew huge crowds,’ Kejriwal shared, emphasizing their brotherly rapport.
In a sharp critique of the BJP, Kejriwal explained its inability to penetrate Tamil Nadu’s political landscape due to public aversion to its tactics. He claimed AIADMK is now a BJP proxy and predicted a decisive voter mandate against the NDA. Warning of potential disruptions if BJP secures seats, he labeled it the epicenter of corruption, citing Delhi and Gujarat as cautionary tales of prolonged BJP rule.
Kejriwal announced AAP’s departure from the INDIA alliance and celebrated Chennai’s charm alongside Stalin’s popular schemes like the nutritious breakfast program. He opposed women’s reservation bills tied to delimitation, viewing them as threats to democratic balance. Ultimately, with a happy populace, Kejriwal argued there’s no room for challengers, respecting however the democratic freedom to compete.
