Aam Aadmi Party national convenor Arvind Kejriwal, announced on Monday, that he along with his family will be visiting the Vaishno Devi shrine.
Taking to social media platform X, Kejriwal stated, "Chalo bulawa aaya hai, Mata ne bulaya hai (Come on, we have been called; Mother (Goddess Vaishno Devi) has called us)." "May you and your family be happy and content. I am going to visit Mata Vaishno Devi with my wife to seek her blessings," he added. https://x.com/ArvindKejriwal/status/1848194538751328698 Kejriwal, who was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate in March this year, in connection with the Delhi excise policy case, came out of Tihar Jail last month, after being granted bail by the Supreme Court. After coming out, in a surprising move, the AAP national convenor announced his resignation from the CM post, and said he won't take the position, till the public gives him the "certificate of honesty" by making AAP victorious again in the assembly elections next year. Party leader and minister Atishi succeeded him as the Chief Minister. Meanwhile, Kejriwal and AAP are gearing up for the assembly elections to be held next year. Earlier on Saturday, the former Chief Minister addressed the party workers at a marathon meet in Delhi's Pitampura. Claiming no party in India's history has been "harassed" as much as the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), Kejriwal hailed the resilience of AAP leaders and workers. He urged them to redouble their efforts to win all 70 seats in the assembly elections due early next year. He emphasised that the stakes for Delhi's future are higher than ever, asserting that the BJP aims to "dismantle the progress made under AAP's governance." The event also saw the presence of senior AAP leaders and former ministers Manish Sisodia, Satyendar Jain, CM Atishi, Rajya Sabha MPs Sandeep Pathak and Sanjay Singh, and AAP Delhi convenor Gopal Rai, along with all the state vice presidents, Mandal in-charges, Mandal presidents, and 'Sangathan Mantris.' The party members also accorded a hero's welcome to Satyendar Jain, who met with all the workers for the first time after getting bail last week. He had been in jail for around two years over allegations of "money laundering" through multiple firms allegedly linked to him. The party workers enthusiastically gave him a standing ovation, while senior leaders garlanded him on stage. (ANI)
