“Arvind Kejriwal’s illegal arrest has galvanized the people of India. There has been sympathy and support across the spectrum. AAP MP Sanjay Singh’s regular bail by the SC under PMLA has proven that he is innocent and the ED doesn’t have a shred of evidence against him,” said Ruben Mascarenhas, working president of Mumbai AAP.

Claiming that there is a widespread support for Kejriwal,Pius Varghese, general secretary, of Mumbai AAP said that the BJP and Prime Minister Narendra Modi will bite the dust in the upcoming Lok Sabha polls.

“The BJP and the Modi government have failed on all fronts. PM and the BJP are absolutely corrupt. The electoral bonds scam has exposed the extortion racket and the quid pro quo run by the BJP,” said Sandeep Katke, vice-president of Mumbai AAP.
