Atishi, a Delhi Minister and AAP politician, sharply condemned Prime Minister Narendra Modi for the recent detention of AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal in connection with an alleged liquor policy issue. Atishi accused PM Modi of attempting to suppress Kejriwal for fear of electoral defeat and questioned the timing of the arrest, which coincided with the release of general election dates.

According to an ANI report, speaking at a press conference at the party headquarters in Delhi, Atishi claimed that the Enforcement Directorate's detention of Kejriwal was unjustified, given the lack of evidence of wrongdoing after a two-year inquiry. She noted the arrest's unusual timing, which occurred just after the Election Commission of India released the Lok Sabha elections 2024 dates.
