Kejriwal alleged a concerted effort by the BJP to target the AAP, claiming, "The Aam Aadmi Party is a small party, we are in power in two states, and the PM is determined to finish our party. Together, they sent four top leaders of our to jail - myself, Manish Sisodia, Sanjay Singh, and Satyendra Jain."
Addressing the crowd, a visibly elated Kejriwal said, "I am coming straight from jail to you. It feels great to be with you after 50 days. I just went to Hanuman temple with my wife and CM Bhagwant Mann. Bajrang Bali's blessings are on our party and us. It is by his grace that I am among you today."
"People want to hear Arvind Kejriwal. Wherever I went during election campaigning, I said Arvind Kejriwal is not a person, Arvind Kejriwal is the name of a thought," stated Mann. His words seemed to elevate Kejriwal beyond a mere political leader to a symbol of a movement.
According to the lawyers, efforts will be made to secure Kejriwal's release from Tihar Jail as early as possible, potentially on the same day as the order.
Kejriwal, the chief of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on March 21 for his alleged role in irregularities in the formulation and implementation of the now-scrapped Delhi excise policy for 2021-22.
Crasto expressed concerns that Kejriwal's continued incarceration is an attempt to muzzle his voice, which is seen as an important asset for the opposition INDIA alliance.
Kejriwal had approached the Supreme Court seeking bail and challenging his arrest by the ED in the alleged excise policy scam case. His legal team argued for interim relief, citing his constitutional duties as the elected Chief Minister of Delhi.
Political trolling by India's political parties has implications that extend beyond domestic politics, impacting the international image of the country. Political leaders need to consider the broader consequences of their online behaviour on India's standing in the global community and its ability to attract positive attention, investments, and partnerships on the international stage.
