Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Saturday said that 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. During the Mehrauli roadshow, Kejriwal said, "It has been 20 hours since I came out of jail. I have talked to many people on the phone. Everyone is saying that BJP is not getting the majority, their seats are decreasing in Haryana, Rajasthan, Karnataka, Maharashtra, West Bengal, Bihar, and UP. They will be wiped out in Punjab and Delhi. Modi government is not being formed on June 4, INDIA bloc government will be formed on June 4 and Aam Aadmi Party will be part of that government." Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann was also present with Arvind Kejriwal during the roadshow. This was the first roadshow that Kejriwal participated in after being released from Tihar Jail on Friday. He accused the BJP of trying to halt the AAP government's work, which he saw as a threat to democracy. He also urged the people to support him in his fight against BJP's dictatorship. "They (BJP) want to stop our work. This is not a good thing for the country, this is dictatorship. And the common people have to fight against this dictatorship. I am fighting against this dictatorship, but I need your support," he said. He accused the Modi government of arresting him because he built schools and hospitals for the people of Delhi. "When they arrested me, I was wondering what my mistake was. My fault is that I have built good schools and hospitals for the people of Delhi. When I went to Tihar, they stopped my insulin for 15 days," he said. Aam Aadmi Party national convenor and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal received a big relief from the Supreme Court, which on Friday granted him interim bail till June 1 in the excise policy case. 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. The bail is applicable till June 1 and Kejriwal has to surrender to authorities on June 2. The Delhi CM can participate in the poll campaigning but can not attend his office as Chief Minister. The Lok Sabha elections in Delhi's seven parliamentary constituencies will be held in a single phase on May 25. The counting of votes will be done on June 4. (ANI)
