“Jail Ka Jawab Vote Se”: AAP Protests Arrest of Arvind Kejriwal

Arvind Kejriwal, the national leader of the Aam Aadmi Party, was arrested in an excise policy case. In reaction, party members in the capital launched a protest campaign called ‘Jail Ka Jawab Vote Se’ on Saturday morning.

“BJP has conspired to put a popular Chief Minister behind bars in a fake case. The people of Delhi will teach BJP a lesson on May 25. The public in Delhi is angry over Arvind Kejriwal’s arrest,” Kuldeep Kumar told ANI.

Arvind Kejriwal was apprehended by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on March 21 in connection to a money-laundering probe concerning the previously scrapped excise policy of the Delhi government. Since April 1, he has remained in custody at Tihar Jail.

Sunita Kejriwal, the spouse of the Delhi Chief Minister, is set to conduct a roadshow in the East Delhi Lok Sabha constituency on Saturday, followed by another in the West Delhi Lok Sabha constituency on April 28.

“Sunita ji will hold a roadshow in East Delhi Lok Sabha and seek blessings for Arvind Kejriwal from the people of East Delhi. On April 28, Sunita Kejriwal ji will conduct a roadshow in West Delhi Lok Sabha, seeking blessings from the people of West Delhi for Arvind Kejriwal,” Delhi Minister Atishi stated on Friday.

Atishi described Arvind Kejriwal’s arrest as a political tactic orchestrated by the BJP-led central government.

“The BJP-led central government and its political weapon, the Enforcement Directorate (ED), arrested Arvind Kejriwal after the announcement of the Lok Sabha elections to prevent him from campaigning during the Lok Sabha elections. However, their move backfired on them. The people of Delhi, Punjab, and across the country are opposing Arvind Kejriwal ji’s arrest, and they will respond to this arrest by voting for AAP,” she stated.

On May 25, Delhi will have its sixth round of general elections, wherein all seven of its Lok Sabha representatives will be chosen by popular vote.
