The political landscape in India has been rocked by the ongoing controversy surrounding the arrest of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal. His wife, Sunita, has accused the ruling BJP of orchestrating a conspiracy to harm her husband's health while he is incarcerated in Tihar Jail. She alleges that Kejriwal was falsely implicated in a case related to the Delhi Excise Policy and that his arrest is a deliberate attempt to stifle his political ambitions. Sunita's claims have sparked outrage amongst the opposition, with the INDIA bloc uniting in a show of solidarity and demanding Kejriwal's immediate release.
The protest rally held at Jantar Mantar saw a convergence of prominent leaders from various opposition parties, each expressing their unwavering support for Kejriwal. They argued that the BJP-led central government is employing oppressive tactics to silence dissenting voices and maintain its grip on power. The INDIA bloc leaders asserted that the BJP's actions are politically motivated and designed to weaken the opposition ahead of the upcoming elections. Leaders like Akhilesh Yadav, D Raja, and Pramod Tiwari condemned the use of investigative agencies as tools of political persecution and vowed to dismantle such systems if their alliance comes to power.
While the opposition has rallied around Kejriwal, the BJP has defended its actions, highlighting the corruption charges against him related to the Delhi Excise Policy. The party's spokesperson, Virendra Sachdeva, maintained that the accusations against Kejriwal were serious and that the judiciary is the appropriate authority to determine his guilt or innocence. The BJP has also criticized the INDIA bloc for supporting a leader facing corruption charges, further deepening the political divide.
