"The people won't listen to a corrupt politician, who is not even granted bail but parole. He asked for votes in 2014, 2019 and again is asking in 2024. He does not have the right to enter the Chief Minister's office, he does not have the right to go to the Secretariat. He has committed corruption, looted the people of Delhi, and was involved in a liquor scam. On what grounds will he ask for votes? He has a stain of corruption on him, who will even listen to him?," Manoj Tiwari said while speaking to the ANI.
"I thank the Supreme Court that they granted him a bail. He won't be able to say now that he did not get a chance to campaign. All seven seats will be won by the BJP in Delhi," Manoj Tiwari added, as per the ANI.
The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) national convenor Arvind Kejriwal was granted on Friday (May 10) from the Supreme Court until June 1 in a money laundering case linked to the alleged excise policy scam.
Meanwhile, Arvind Kejriwal held a roadshow in Delhi on Saturday evening along with his Punjab counterpart Bhagwant Mann. Addressing the poll rally in Delhi's Mehrauli, Kejriwal launched sharp attacks on the Centre, saying the BJP will be defeated in the Lok Sabha polls in Punjab and Delhi.He said that on June 4, the Modi government will not come to power, but instead, the INDIA bloc government, of which the Aam Aadmi Party will be a part, will be formed.
Earlier today, Delhi BJP president Virendra Sachdeva also slammed Arvind Kejriwal for "looting the people of Delhi".
On Arvind Kejriwal getting interim bail, Virendra Sachdeva said, "He (Arvind Kejriwal) got released on a bond of Rs 50,000. He cannot even sign a paper, and cannot go to the Delhi Secretariat. He has cheated and looted Delhi. Out on parole, Arvind Kejriwal should think what would happen after June 1. If he had even the slightest shame, he would have resigned. What kind of a CM he is that he cannot enter the Delhi Secretariat?"
"Arvind Kejriwal has said that his top four leaders were in jail. They are not the top 4 leaders, but 4 corrupt leaders who were in jail, two of them are out on bail... We would also like to see how the people of Delhi will see a criminal. How do people released on parole go among the public? He will have to tell the public why he was in jail for 50 days. He should count the number of seats on which AAP is contesting elections," Virendra Sachdeva said.
The Supreme Court on Friday gave interim bail to the Aam Admi Party convenor till June 1. However, as per the terms of his bail, the Delhi Chief Minister cannot make any comment about his role in the Delhi liquor scam case.
Arvind Kejriwal spent over 50 days in Tihar Jail after being arrested by the Enforcement Directorate in an excise policy case on March 21, days after the election schedule for the general elections was announced.
