This is second freedom struggle, MLAs get ready to go to jail: Kejriwal

“He is trying to derail the government in Delhi. All the good officers have been transferred out of Delhi. They throw our MLAs in jail. We have to remember the sacrifices made by Bhagat Singh and Subhash Chandra Bose. This is the second freedom struggle. All MLAs have to get ready to go to jail,” said Kejriwal.

He added, “Somebody told me, ‘Kejriwal ji, you are very lucky’. I asked why. They said, ‘Aapko toh jail hi bhej rahein hai. Nahi toh Gujarat mein toh Haren Pandya jaise aapka patta hi saaf kar sakte thhe (You are only being sent to jail. Or else in Gujarat they could have just eliminated you like Haren Pandya).”

Kejriwal also said the BJP has so far sent 12 AAP MLAs to jail. He pointed to Delhi Cantt MLA Surinder Singh and said, “Look at Commando Surinder (Singh). You remember the 26/11 attacks in Mumbai. The army sent 15 commandos who landed on Taj Hotel from helicopters. He was one among them. His child was two days old at that time. He left his child with his wife and set out to save the country. He lost his hearing following an explosion. He wears a machine in his ears,” he said.

The CM said Singh had complained against an NDMC officer who was taking bribes from vendors. “I feel ashamed to say that our PM threw him (Singh) in jail. The PM took no action against the (NDMC) officer but put him (Singh) in jail,” he said.

Kejriwal added, “I went to Gujarat the day before. I traveled 200 km from Rajkot to Somnath. There were people on both sides of the road all the way. They said these people have destroyed Gujarat. The electricity bill for 400 units in Delhi is Rs 1,100 but that in Gujarat is Rs 2,200. Schools and hospitals are in bad condition. The people are fed up. They are waiting for elections so that AAP can form government in Gujarat. People are ready for AAP in Goa too and a recent survey said AAP will win at least 100 of 117 seats in Punjab.”
