Bail for Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, while a big relief, comes at a time of turmoil for the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP). If Kejriwal walks out of Tihar Jail — sources in the Enforcement Directorate (ED) said the agency would file a plea to stay the Rouse Avenue Court order on Friday — he has a multitude of issues to address.
The country is going through a very difficult time. Slowly, and now very quickly, the country is moving towards dictatorship. They (the BJP government at the Centre) first arrested (ex-Jharkhand CM) Hemant Soren, and then me. By arresting me, they are giving a message to people of the country that if they can arrest Kejriwal in a false case, they can arrest anyone. So they should be feared, and people should do as they say. These are signs of a dictatorship. In a democracy, they should listen to people, but they are asking people to listen to them. We have to save the country from this. In a way, this is like the freedom struggle. Many people who inspire me today went to jail for long periods at the time. My going to jail is to save the country, it is not because I am corrupt. It is not because Manish Sisodia has done something wrong. Just like people went to jail for long periods for this country’s freedom, we are going to jail to save democracy and the Constitution. I have always said that I can sacrifice my life for the country. This is a part of that struggle.
With Arvind Kejriwal set to be back after being granted interim bail by the Supreme Court in the excise policy case on Friday, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) is looking forward to a clear direction for its Lok Sabha poll campaign and a re-energised cadre.
A little over six months after he impressed the Congress’s national leadership by waving party flags in Sikh-dominated Tilak Nagar, marking the party’s return to an area scarred by the anti-Sikh riots, Arvinder Singh Lovely stepped down as the party’s Delhi Congress president for the second time in his career.
SINCE THE arrest of its national convenor and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on March 21, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has held several protests in Delhi as well as in other parts of the country.
TheAam Aadmi Party (AAP)’s Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh walked out of Tihar Jail Wednesday, a day after he was granted bail by the Supreme Court in the Delhi excise policy case. Reeling from the arrest of its senior leaders, including its supremo and Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, in the same case, the AAP has got a shot in the arm on the eve of the Lok Sabha elections by Sanjay Singh’s release. In an interview with The Indian Express, Singh spoke on a range of issues, including his party’s poll campaign, the INDIA bloc, the elevation of Kejriwal’s wife Sunita, and his nearly six-month-long incarceration. Excerpts:
An AAP orator next only to Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, a Member of Parliament with links across Opposition parties apart from his hold on MLAs in Delhi and Punjab — for a party that has its top brass behind bars, the Supreme Court’s grant of bail to Sanjay Singh could not have been more timely.
Delhi Home and Transport minister Kailash Gahlot has the reputation of being a mild-mannered politician — he rarely makes an appearance at press conferences — who plays a behind-the-scenes role within the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) circles.
