MADURAI: Needling the DMK and AIADMK in their bastion by calling them “corrupt”, Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal made a passionate plea to the people of Tamil Nadu to “break the record of Delhi” by voting Kamal Haasan’s Makkal Needhi Maiam to power in the next elections like his AAP stormed to power in national capital within two years of formation.
Admiring “real life hero” Kamal’s courage in speaking against injustice and communal forces in the country, Kejriwal virtually kicked off the campaign for the actor’s new party by asking the people to choose between “corrupt DMK and AIADMK” and “honest Kamal Haasan.”
Addressing the large gathering at the launch of Kamal’s new political party, Kejriwal spoke of his experiences in Delhi as Chief Minister after his AAP was bestowed with a historic mandate – winning 67 of total 70 seats – in 2015 assembly elections and the transformation his government has been able to bring about in the national capital.
“We have been in power for the past three years. If you have honest government, everything is possible. There is no dearth of money in the government; there is only dearth of good intentions. In just three years, there is complete transformation in health, transport and other sectors in Delhi,” Kejriwal told the rally.
