The Delhi CM held his first roadshow for the Lok Sabha elections in Mehrauli a day after stepping out of jail. He also claimed that the BJP-led Centre was trying to paralyse the Delhi government by shutting everything down. Kejriwal was campaigning in support of Aam Aadmi Party’s South Delhi Lok Sabha candidate Sahiram Pahalwan and was accompanied by Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann.
Earlier today, Kejriwal addressed a press conference, saying, “Modi ji wants to crush Aam Aadmi Party (AAP)… he has a dangerous mission — of one nation, one leader.” Continuing his attack on the BJP, he said, “It is my assessment that BJP is not forming the government on June 4… The INDIA bloc will form the government, and AAP will be part of that government.” He also visited the Hanuman temple at Connaught Place.
Upon his release on Friday, party workers and leaders, including Mann, and Kejriwal’s wife Sunita, gathered outside the jail in anticipation of his release. Addressing the crowd, Kejriwal had said, “Didn’t I tell you I’d be back soon? I am back.” He added, “I’m fighting against dictatorship with all I have, now 140 crore of us have to do that.” On Friday, a two-judge bench of the Supreme Court had granted the Delhi CM interim bail till June 1 in the now-scrapped excise policy case. Kejriwal was arrested on March 21 by the Enforcement Directorate in connection with the alleged excise policy scam. This made him the first sitting chief minister in India to be put behind bars.
