Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal seems to have triggered an all-new offensive against Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the NDA government with his relentless dharna at the office of Delhi Lieutenant Governor Anil Baijal.

After four chief ministers Andhra Pradeshs N Chandrababu Naidu, Keralas Pinarayi Vijayan, West Bengals Mamata Banerjee and Karnatakas HD Kumaraswamy now DMK working president MK Stalin has come out in support of the Aam Aadmi Party chief.

Taking to microblogging site Twitter, Stalin said that he was concerned with the disdain shown towards an elected Chief Minister, accusing the Bharatiya Janata Party of proactively destroying the federal structure of India.

The DMK working president tweeted, I am concerned with the disdain shown by Lt Gov of Delhi towards an elected Chief Minister like @ArvindKejriwal. The BJP is proactively destroying the federal structure of this nation. I express my solidarity with the chief ministers who are standing up for states' rights.

The support from the Tamil Nadu strongman was welcomed by the Delhi Chief Minister, who thanked Stalin for supporting people of Delhi. Kejriwal said, Thank u sir for supporting people of Delhi. They r continuously insulting the people of Delhi, which will not be tolerated. (sic)
