In a tweet, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) boss thanked the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) supremo for inviting him.
"I thank Thiru M K Stalin for inviting me to visit Tamil Nadu next week. I am elated to join the people of Tamil Nadu in their journey towards an education revolution. We will together be launching three crucial projects on September 5," Kejriwal’s tweet read.
