Last week Congress leader Captain Amarinder Singh had claimed that Arvind Kejriwal was India’s Donald Trump as both of them talk a lot of nonsense. This statement of course was political rhetoric and an indication of AAP being a serious player in Punjab elections, but we decided to take it literally (for fun) and wondered if the two leaders could indeed be similar.
Prior to this statement by Captain, this tweet by “The Lying Lama” had gone viral, where one similarity between Trump and Kejriwal was highlighted, and we thought to dig deeper in Twitter. And now we have found nine more tweets that showed similarities between Trump and Kejriwal.
Take a look at them (with a sense of humor):
1. In this tweet, Donald Trump is calling the US President Obama a “coward” just as Arvind Kejriwal had called Indian Prime Minister a “coward and psychopath”:
“@sdillam: @realDonaldTrump shuts down NBC’s @MLauer: ‘Putin has eaten Obama’s lunch’ http://t.co/nOaLA2O61k He’s a spineless coward.

2. Arvind Kejriwal is known to tweet about movies, and even Trump has done the same:
I just saw the movie “Unbroken” — very good except I thought the ending was weak, no retribution! And we complain about waterboarding.
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 3, 2015
3. Kejriwal has often accused media of being biased against him, Trump has the same complaint against media:
As expected, the media is very much against me. Their dishonesty is amazing but, just like our big wins in the primaries, we will win!

4. Arvind Kejriwal raises issues of corruption everywhere, and now Trump is also flagging corruption:
Crooked Hillary Clinton knew that her husband wanted to meet with the U.S.A.G. to work out a deal. The system is totally rigged & corrupt!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 3, 2016
5. Arvind Kejriwal claims that the system has been compromised by corruption, Trump too claims that the system is rigged:
“THE SYSTEM IS RIGGED!”
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 3, 2016
6. Arvind Kejriwal loves to share opinion polls and survey results that show him winning, and so does Trump:
Great new poll- thank you! pic.twitter.com/ytzesbCZas

7. Although no one can beat Arvind Kejriwal in dharna-protests, Trump too believes in those:
Big protest march in Colorado on Friday afternoon! Don’t let the bosses take your vote!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) April 14, 2016
8. Arvind Kejriwal often tweets information crediting those to “sources”, Trump too has his “sources”:
It was just announced-by sources-that no charges will be brought against Crooked Hillary Clinton. Like I said, the system is totally rigged!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 2, 2016
9. Arvind Kejriwal was the one who forced BJP to release educational certificates of PM Modi, and Trump prides himself as the person who forced President Obama to release his birth certificate:
Always remember, I was the one who got Obama to release his birth certificate, or whatever that was! Hilary couldn’t, McCain couldn’t.
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 29, 2014
10. And finally, Trump too has used “is this true?” in a tweet, which is trademark of Arvind Kejriwal:
Is this true about Univision and Fusion? Wow!?! http://t.co/y7nd9BziBP
