On Saturday, just a day after his release, Kejriwal visited Hanuman Mandir at Connaught Place in Delhi and held a roadshow in the national capital along with Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann.

 

Kejriwal also held a press conference at AAP's office in Delhi on Saturday and took several jibes at the BJP. Yesterday, Kejriwal asked how PM Modi will fulfil his "guarantee" as he is likely to retire when he turns 75 in September this year. He pointed out BJP has a rule that all leaders retire at the age of 75.

 

Union Home Minister Amit Shah while responding to Kejriwal's question said that there will be no change in leadership, adding that Prime Minister Narendra Modi will complete his third term and will continue leading the party and country.

Meanwhile Delhi Minister and AAP leader Gopal Rai today told ANI that the reactions that have been coming out from the BJP show that Arvind Kejriwal has told the truth.

"What Arvind Kejriwal has said yesterday, publicly, every party worker and those who hold a position in BJP are talking about it in a hushed voice. PM Modi made the rule of retirement for the top leadership of the party that once they complete 75 years of age they need to be retired and now he is going to be 75 years old and he will retire after that. The reactions that have been coming out from the BJP show that Arvind Kejriwal has told the truth," he said.
