New Delhi: With the arrest of Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal, his ministers, MLAs and party leaders are seen making emotional appeals. Political experts believe that Kejriwal’s arrest is a big blow for the Aam Aadmi Party, but the party is also trying its best to connect people emotionally during this time.
Immediately after the arrest of Arvind Kejriwal, now his party leaders are raising basic and emotional issues related to the public. Aam Aadmi Party’s Rajya Sabha MP Raghav Chadha says that the person who gave world-class education to lakhs of poor children of Delhi, gave free electricity to lakhs of families and supplied water to homes, ensured free bus travel for women, mothers and sisters. Now he himself has been arrested.
While giving his views on this arrest, Raghav further said that Arvind Kejriwal is not the name of a person, but the name of an idea. You can arrest their body, but not their thinking. If one Kejriwal is arrested then lakhs of Kejriwals will stand up.
On the arrest of Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal, Delhi Minister Atishi says that we are worried about the safety of CM Kejriwal. Arvind Kejriwal has Z Plus security cover. Now he is in the custody of ED of the Central Government.
Atishi says that this is the first time that a sitting CM has been arrested by the Central Government. This is the first time in the history of the country that the national convenor of a national party has been arrested after the announcement of Lok Sabha elections. Kejriwal’s arrest is a political conspiracy of BJP. Aam Aadmi Party is also using Kejriwal’s arrest to unite its workers. Aam Aadmi Party has appealed that on Friday its workers will gather across the country and protest at the BJP office.
Aam Aadmi Party is also getting support from Congress and other allies on the arrest of Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal. Delhi government minister Saurabh Bhardwaj said on Friday that all opposition leaders including Rahul Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi, MK Stalin, Akhilesh Yadav have expressed support towards Kejriwal.
Saurabh Bhardwaj said that what is being done to Chief Minister Kejriwal is injustice. This is an attempt to destroy a political party. Our legal experts are working on next steps. Our party office has been converted into a cantonment, ITO metro station has been closed. Is there any model code of conduct in force? What is the Election Commission doing?
It is noteworthy that the office of Aam Aadmi Party is near ITO metro station. The party has asked all its workers and leaders to gather here. Talking about allies, on the arrest of Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal, Congress leader KC Venugopal said on Friday that Congress is with Aam Aadmi Party and Kejriwal. ED has become a weapon of the government for vendetta politics against the opposition.
Pointing to the ruling party, Venugopal said that they know that they cannot win on their own, hence they are doing vendetta politics against the opposition leaders. This is a step to make India an autocratic country.
