Anti-national forces worked together to put former Delhi deputy CM Manish Sisodia and former Delhi minister Satyendar Jain in jail, Aam Aadmi Party convenor Arvind Kejriwal said on Tuesday.
Addressing AAP party workers in the national capital, the chief minister of Delhi said that the party getting the status of national party in a short span of 10 years was a “miraculous and incredible” achievement. He also urged people to join the AAP in order to make India the number-one country in the world. The Election Commission of India recently granted national party status to AAP.
“All the anti-national forces that want to stop the progress of the country are against the AAP, but the almighty is with us,” Kejriwal said. “Today, on this occasion of happiness, I am missing Manish ji and Jain Saheb a lot. They are fighting for the country and for all of us. Today, all anti-national forces are opposing AAP. Manish Sisodia urged poor children to dream; that was his fault. It was Satyendar Jain’s fault that he wanted everyone to have access to good medical conditions, and anti-national forces worked together to put them in jail,” Kejriwal said.
The chief minister added, “Many of our comrades were beaten and put behind bars. Many people lost their lives during this journey, and I pray for them all. Many people struggled a lot, left their jobs, and joined the party. I thank all our workers and most of all our critics for everything.”
Kejriwal further added, Earlier, they used to say that money is needed to contest elections, but we have shown that we can contest elections honestly and run the government. Back when we started, there was no money, and there were no men; even today, there is no money, but there are many men.”
“It seems that it was only yesterday when our party was formed; then, we never imagined we could get even a single MLA, but today, after 10 and a half years, AAP has become a national party. There are six national parties, three of which have governments in one or more states, one of them being the AAP”, he said.
