In an appeal, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has urged the people of India to \u201csave the nation from dictatorship.\u201d Addressing a gathering after being granted interim bail by the Supreme Court, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader claimed the country\u2019s democracy was under threat.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have come to beg in front of the 140 crore people of our country to save our nation from dictatorship. Please save my nation,\u201d Kejriwal said. He expressed gratitude to the Supreme Court for granting him 22 days of interim bail, vowing to travel across the country during this period \u201cto fight for our country.\u201d<\/p>\n
Kejriwal\u2019s remarks came in the backdrop of his recent arrest and judicial custody in a case related to alleged irregularities in the Delhi Excise Policy Scam Case His arrest had sparked widespread protests from AAP supporters, who accused the BJP-led central government of pursuing a political vendetta against the party.<\/p>\n
Portraying himself as a victim of an authoritarian regime, Kejriwal\u2019s appeal appeared to be an attempt to rally public support and project the AAP as a defender of democratic values. His dramatic words painted a picture of a nation teetering on the brink of dictatorship, with his party at the forefront of resistance against such a scenario.<\/p>\n
The Delhi CM\u2019s call to \u201csave the nation\u201d resonated with his party\u2019s longstanding stance of portraying itself as a crusader against corruption and a champion of the common people\u2019s interests. By invoking the nation\u2019s 140 crore citizens, Kejriwal sought to tap into a broader sense of patriotism and concern for the country\u2019s well-being.<\/p>\n
Kejriwal\u2019s remarks have reignited the political tussle between the AAP and the BJP, with the latter likely to dismiss the allegations as baseless and accuse the AAP of playing the victim card for political gains.<\/p>\n
As the AAP gears up for a nationwide campaign during Kejriwal\u2019s interim bail period, his provocative statements have set the stage for a heated political battle, with both sides vying to capture the narrative of safeguarding democracy and upholding the rule of law.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
