"I am taken aback by their (AAP) audacity and lack of shame. Even after all this, they are saying they will run the government from jail. Gangs are run from jail, not governments." pic.twitter.com/wehyNPBrS7
"He has dedicated himself to bringing Delhi to the brink of ruin. Delhi residents are deeply disappointed with him, as evidenced by the distribution of sweets following his arrest. His administration has achieved nothing positive for Delhi; instead, they have engaged in corruption and self-enrichment. Kejriwal has pillaged Delhi," Tiwari was quoted as saying by ANI.
"Those who repeatedly claim they will operate the government from jail should remember that we have witnessed gangs operating from jail, not legitimate governments," he added.

Union Minister Rajeev Chandrasekhar also remarked to ANI, "The alliance between the Left and Congress is unsurprising; they are I.N.D.I.A bloc partners cooperating in elections nationwide... This collaboration only underscores the fact that they are two sides of the same coin... Their actions in Kerala are mere theatrics... The outrage over Arvind Kejriwal's arrest is a charade; the public is well aware that Kejriwal ignored multiple notices from the ED... Arrest was the consequence of his non-compliance... Why did he ignore the summons earlier?... Every year, during every election, Congress and the Left lose ground and public support because people demand complete honesty."
