Following his release from prison, Aam Aadmi Party MP Sanjay Singh remarked that it was not a moment for celebration but rather a time to “fight” especially considering that other AAP leaders, including the “topmost leader” Arvind Kejriwal, are incarcerated.
Singh, who had been imprisoned for over six months in connection with the alleged excise policy case, was freed from Tihar jail on Wednesday following the Supreme Court’s grant of bail a day earlier.
“This is not a time of celebration but a time of war. We all have to struggle together. The topmost leader of our party, Arvind Kejriwal, is in jail. Manish Sisodia and Satyendar Jain are also in jail. We have a long fight ahead,” he said.
“We have to go amongst the people of Delhi, wherever the AAP candidates and the INDIA bloc candidates are fighting in the upcoming general elections. We have to work hard to defeat the dictatorial government. We have to throw them out of power,” he added.
He also mentioned that he needs to focus on devising the election strategy and roadmap, emphasizing his commitment to providing support for the candidates from the INDIA bloc.
“Let’s get ready to fight,” he said.
In the meantime, Singh visited Manish Sisodia’s residence, where he met with Sisodia’s wife and other relatives.
Earlier, Sanjay Singh raised the slogan “Jail ke taale tootenge, Arvind Kejriwal chootenge”.
Hailing Delhi Chief Minister and AAP national convenor, Arvind Kejriwal, who is currently serving jail in the case, Singh said, “Jail ke taale tootenge, Arvind Kejriwal chootenge.”
As soon as Singh emerged from jail, he was greeted with loud cheers and slogans. The AAP leader climbed onto a vehicle parked outside the jail and addressed the assembled supporters. Earlier on Tuesday, Singh had been granted bail by the Supreme Court in the money laundering case linked to the Delhi excise policy scam.
