Arvind Kejriwal Alleges ED Summons Aimed at Disrupting Lok Sabha Election Campaign

Delhi Chief Minister and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Chief, Arvind Kejriwal, has claimed that the recent Enforcement Directorate summons issued to him were strategically timed to impede his campaigning efforts for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections. The AAP has been vocal in asserting that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is attempting to arrest Kejriwal.

Kejriwal, addressing the media, expressed his belief that the summons were a deliberate tactic to hamper his political activities, especially during the crucial election period. He contended that there was no evidence of corruption in the Delhi liquor policy case under investigation.

The Enforcement Directorate’s summons come after a two-year probe, prompting Kejriwal to question the timing of the issuance—just before the commencement of the Lok Sabha elections. He raised concerns about the political implications and questioned why the summons were not issued earlier in the investigative process.

The AAP chief’s statements reflect the ongoing political tensions between the AAP and BJP, with the former accusing the latter of employing legal mechanisms to hinder their political leader. The political landscape is likely to intensify as both parties navigate the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.

As the situation develops, the focus remains on the potential impact of these summons on Arvind Kejriwal’s political engagements and the larger political narrative leading up to the elections.
