Chennai, April 20 -- National convener of the AAP Arvind Kejriwal on Monday said the people of Tamil Nadu would "repent" if they voted NDA in the state in the April 23 polls, saying the state would meet the same fate as Delhi where the BJP "stopped all the good work" of AAP.
Addressing a massive gathering at a roadshow along with Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M K Stalin here, in support of the DMK-led Secular Progressive Alliance candidates, the former CM of Delhi said Tamil Nadu doesn't want the BJP.
Kejriwal, who addressed from atop a campaign vehicle with Stalin standing beside him, pointed at the huge crowd on either side of the road and said, "The AIADMK has done the biggest crime of bringing the BJP to Tamil Nadu."
"A year ago, the people made a mistake by voting for the BJP and now all the good work that we have done in Delhi, has been stopped by the BJP. The schools we started in Delhi, the clinics, free medicine and treatment in hospitals, free electricity and free water have all been stopped by the BJP," he said.
Whether the people voted for the BJP or the AIADMK or NDA made no difference, because all the good work that Stalin has started in Tamil Nadu will be stopped if the NDA won the election, "and you will repent," the top Aam Aadmi Party leader cautioned.
"So, I request you to vote for Stalin saab (sir) and the DMK if you want to sustain the good work. He (Stalin) has done a lot of developmental work in Tamil Nadu. This development should continue. He is one voice and a strong voice, too, against PM Modi in the Centre," he said.
Stalin was fighting not only for Tamil Nadu but also for the country. "He defeated the delimitation bill which would have completely destroyed our democracy and he stood against Modi and fought for the people of Tamil Nadu," Kejriwal said.
Tamil Nadu, the AAP national convener said, would suffer the same fate as Bihar, where the chief minister has been made an MP, if the AIADMK-led NDA won in the state.
