Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal threw his weight behind the Mamata Banerjee-led Trinamool Congress (TMC) in West Bengal, the Samajwadi Party-Bahujan Samaj Party duo in Uttar Pradesh, the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) in Tamil Nadu and has claimed that only these parties can defeat the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in their respective states in the Lok Sabha election. Along the same lines, Kejriwal believes that only the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) can defeat the BJP in Delhi.
Earlier, Kejriwal asserted that he was all set to leave the seven Lok Sabha seats in Delhi if he thought that the Congress was capable of winning elections.
"In West Bengal, only the TMC can defeat BJP (in 2019 Lok Sabha polls), not Congress. In Uttar Pradesh too, only Akhilesh Yadav-Mayawati alliance can defeat BJP, but not Congress. Similarly, only DMK can defeat BJP in Tamil Nadu," claimed the Delhi CM, reports Money Control.
Last month, Kejriwal ended all speculations of AAP allying with Congress, and the party announced that it would field candidates in all parliamentary constituencies in Haryana, Delhi and Punjab.

The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
