Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) cadres staged a protest under the banner of Jail ka jawab vote se’ near Delhi’s Lakshmi Nagar area on Saturday against the arrest of Delhi Chief Minister and AAP national convenor Arvind Kejriwal in connection with an excise policy case. His wife Sunita Kejriwal is also set to launch her maiden roadshow in East Delhi today in support of party’s East Delhi candidate Kuldeep Kumar.
Ahead of Sunita Kejrieal’s roadshow, Kuldeep Kumar told ANI, “CM Arvind Kejriwal who worked to provide the best school, and free- electricity to Delhiites has been trapped in a frivolous case by BJP...From today onwards Sunita Kejriwal's roadshow will begin; she is going to seek support and blessings from the Delhi people to fight against this government…”
Delhi Minister and AAP leader Atishi on Friday announced that Sunita will be campaigning for the party with her first roadshow to be held today, April 27, and another in the West Delhi Lok Sabha constituency on April 28.
Following Arvind Kejriwal’s arrest by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in a money laundering case related to the now-defunct Delhi liquor policy in March, Sunita had assumed a more prominent role in AAP’s campaigning.
Since the CM’s arrest, Atishi and other party leaders have alleged that the arrest was a ploy to prevent Kejriwal from campaigning for the Lok Sabha polls.
According to the latest court order, Kejriwal is set to remain in judicial custody until May 7.
