Arvind Kejriwal meets MK Stalin, praises Tamil Nadu's governance model

Arvind Kejriwal meets MK Stalin, lauds TN's governance. Amit Shah campaigns for NDA as Tamil Nadu heads for a three-cornered contest.

"We have always learnt from each other. - Arvind Kejriwal"

Chennai, April 20

Aam Aadmi Party National Convener Arvind Kejriwal met Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin on Monday and lauded his government's work in key sectors such as education, healthcare, and women's empowerment.

In a post on X, highlighting shared priorities, Kejriwal said both leaders have consistently learned from each other's governance approaches, while appreciating the transformative impact of Tamil Nadu's policies on its people.

"Honoured to meet with the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, Thiru @mkstalin. We share a common vision for education, healthcare, and women's empowerment. We have always learnt from each other. I deeply appreciate the impact his dedicated governance has created in transforming the lives of the people of Tamil Nadu," Kejriwal posted.

This comes as Kejriwal is set to address election rallies in support of DMK and CM MK Stalin on April 20 and 21, the Aam Aadmi Party said.

AAP has not put up any candidate for the Assembly poll race, choosing to support the Secular Progressive Alliance (SPA) instead.

Meanwhile, CM Stalin has been campaigning for DMK across the state, as he interacted with the people in Chennai's Anna Nagar Tower Park area on Monday during his morning walk campaign ahead of the upcoming Assembly polls. People, from all walks of life, thronged to greet the Chief Minister.

Earlier, Stalin conducted a house-to-house campaign in the Netthukuppam area of Thiruvottiyur, after campaigning in Hosur, Krishnagiri, Mylapore, Thousand Lights, and T Nagar constituencies.

Parallely, AIADMK-BJP alliance's campaign is also in full swing, with active participation from BJP's top brass, including PM Modi, Home Minister Amit Shah and Union Minister Piyush Goyal.

Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Sunday held a roadshow in the Modakurichi Assembly constituency in support of Kirthika Shivkumar and slammed the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam government, alleging corruption and nepotism.

He also expressed confidence in the prospects of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) in Tamil Nadu ahead of the polls on April 23. The counting of votes is scheduled for May 4.

The main contest is expected between the DMK-led Secular Progressive Alliance, which includes the Indian National Congress, DMDK and VCK, and the National Democratic Alliance led by AIADMK with BJP and PMK as allies.

Actor-turned-politician Vijay is also set to make his electoral debut with his party TVK, which could turn the contest into a three-way fight.

Pure political alliance before elections. Everyone is praising everyone now. Let's see what happens after the results. The real test is delivering on the ground for the people.

As someone from Chennai, I appreciate the focus on governance. But this feels like a campaign stop. We need less photo-ops and more concrete discussions on policy coordination between states.

Interesting to see the dynamics of Indian state politics. The AAP-DMK alliance shows how regional parties are forming new blocs. The entry of Vijay's party adds another layer to a complex election.

Women's empowerment is a critical issue. If both leaders are serious about it, they should publish their joint plan and timelines. We need accountability, not just statements.

The AIADMK-BJP alliance is working very hard on the ground. The DMK government has many corruption charges. Voters are smart and will decide based on performance, not outsider praise. 🇮🇳
