New Delhi: Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, known for championing the aam admi or common man, will be on very VVIP turf soon -his statue will be introduced at the world-famous Madame Tussauds wax museum in London.
Sources in Mr Kejriwal's office confirmed that the Chief Minister has agreed to be measured for the life-size statue next month.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi's statue will make its debut in a few weeks at the museum which features a phalanx of Bollywood stars including Shah Rukh Khan and Amitabh Bachchan.
"Madame Tussauds has crafted figures of very distinguished dignitaries from around the world - how could I regard myself worthy of being alongside them? But when I was informed that your decision had emanated from public opinion and public sentiment, I was comforted," the PM said in a recently-released statement to the museum.
His wax twin will also be a part of the museum's branches in Singapore, Hong Kong and Bangkok.
A new branch of Madame Tussauds is also planned for Delhi next year.
The well-established rivalry between the PM and Mr Kejriwal can play out on new turf - whose statue will see more tourists lining up for photographs?
Another question not yet answered -whether Mr Kejriwal, 47, will be featured with his trademark checked muffler draped over his head.
