Delhi Chief Minister and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) National Convenor Arvind Kejriwal found himself in a legal tussle on Monday as he was remanded to judicial custody until April 15th. Subsequently, Kejriwal was taken to Tihar Jail in the national capital. This development unfolded during a hearing where the Enforcement Directorate informed the Rouse Avenue Court that Kejriwal had named his party colleagues Atishi and Saurabh in connection with the excise policy scam case.
Kejriwal’s statement implicated Vijay Nair, one of the accused in the case who also happened to be the former communication-in-charge of AAP, claiming that Nair used to report to Atishi.
In response to the recent ‘Maha Rally’ organized by the INDIA bloc to “save democracy”, Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan commented on Kejriwal’s arrest, suggesting that it should serve as a lesson for the Congress. He questioned the shift in the Congress party’s stance, comparing their reactions to the arrest of Congress leader Manish Sisodia previously.
Amidst these developments, AAP leader and Delhi minister Atishi took to X to announce that she would be making an “explosive expose” at 10 am on Tuesday.
The events surrounding Kejriwal’s judicial custody and the involvement of Atishi and Saurabh in the excise policy scam case have generated significant attention and speculation. Kejriwal’s claims about Nair’s reporting structure within AAP have added another layer of complexity to the ongoing legal proceedings.
Atishi’s promise of an “explosive expose” has heightened anticipation, with many eager to learn the details of the information she plans to reveal. This situation underscores the intense political climate in Delhi and the AAP’s determination to address and respond to the allegations being brought against its leaders. As the situation continues to unfold, all eyes will be on Atishi’s upcoming announcement and the subsequent developments in this case.
