Bewary~even if BJP gets one seat in TN polls, it will have its own CM:Kejriwal
The Statesman
|April 22, 2026
Urging the Tamil Nadu electorate to reject the BJP and the NDA in toto, former Delhi Chief Minister and Aam Aadmi Party national convener Arvind Kejriwal on Tuesday cautioned them to be wary of the saffron party, alleging that it would have its own Chief Minister even if it gets a lone legislator in the assembly elections.
"I want to tell the people of Tamil Nadu that they should be wary of the BJP and the NDA, because the NDA is essentially the BJP and not an alliance led by the AIADMK. I am sure that people of Tamil Nadu will not vote for the NDA, the AIADMK, or the BJP. But, theoretically, even if the BJP gets just one seat, it will install its own Chief Minister, as it did in Bihar with Nitish Kumar," the AAP leader said while addressing the media after winding up his two-day campaign for the DMK-led alliance.
Tamil Nadu is going to the polls on 23 April (Thursday), and Kejriwal held a roadshow along with Chief Minister MK Stalin in Chennaithe other day.
