Kejriwal, who is the AAP`s national convener, did not appear before the ED for questioning in the Delhi excise policy-linked case earlier in the day, and instead wrote to the agency demanding the withdrawal of the notice summoning him claiming it was "illegal and politically motivated"

He and Mann took part in a roadshow here for the party candidate from Singrauli and AAP`s state president Rani Agrawal. She is also the mayor of Singrauli city, a major electricity generation hub

"They have been threatening since the last few days in Delhi that they will arrest Kejriwal. They threaten everyday in Delhi that they will arrest Kejriwal. You will arrest the body of Kejriwal, but how will you arrest the thinking of Kejriwal?" the Delhi CM asked amid loud cheers from his supporters.

"You will arrest Kejriwal, but how will you arrest thousands, lakhs and crores of Kejriwals spread across the entire country," asked the Delhi CM who reminded the gathering that his party was born out of the anti-corruption movement of activist Anna Hazare

Highlighting the work done by AAP governments in Delhi and Punjab in the education and health sectors, like setting up of schools and clinics, providing free water and electricity, Kejriwal said his party had proved sceptics wrong

When the AAP was set up, everyone used to say its candidates would lose their security deposits (in polls), but the party ended up winning a whopping 67 seats in the 70-member Delhi Assembly and repeated the formidable feat in the subsequent polls as well, he pointed out

"People have blessed us on the basis of our work of opening schools, hospitals, providing free power and water. Earlier governments used to say there is dearth of funds for welfare schemes but the AAP proved them wrong because it is an honest party that has effectively curbed corruption," Kejriwal said
