Sunita Kejriwal, the wife of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, released a video statement on Friday, launching "Kejriwal ko Aashirvaad" drive and a helpline number. In the video, she announced the launch of a WhatsApp number where people can send their messages to Delhi CM.

Through the WhatsApp number supporters can send messages to the AAP chief, who has been in jail since his arrest last week in the liquor policy case.

"...We are starting a drive from today - Kejriwal ko aashirvaad. You can send your blessings and prayers to Kejriwal on this number," Sunita Kejriwal stated in the video.

"Whatever Arvind Kejriwal said in the court yesterday requires a lot of courage. He is a true patriot. This is how our freedom fighters used to fight the British. I have been with him for thirty years, he has challenged the most corrupt and dictatorial forces. Will you not support your brother and your son in this fight?" she said. "I am giving a WhatsApp number today- 8297324624".

"Through this campaign, you can give your message on this number. Many people have made a vow for Arvind Ji and are fasting. I will give each of your messages to him in jail. Whichever party you belong to, women, children, elderly, everyone must send a message to this number," Sunita added. 

Notably, this is the third video statement Sunita has posted since the arrest of Arvind Kejriwal by the Enforcement Directorate in an excise policy case. In a similar video message yesterday, she revealed that her husband is not keeping well in custody.

The Delhi CM was arrested on March 21 in the alleged liquor policy scam. His ED custody was extended till April 1 on Thursday. He is the third AAP leader after Manish Sisodia and Sanjay Singh to be arrested in the same case.
