New Delhi [India], August 21 (ANI): Former Delhi Deputy Chief Minister and Aam Aadmi Party leader Manish Sisodia on Wednesday said that the party is receiving a lot of love during the ‘padyatra’ and hoped that Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal will return from the jail soon.
“We are receiving a lot of love during the padyatra. We are hopeful that CM Arvind Kejriwal will also return soon. As soon as he returns all the pending works of the people will be done soon,” Sisodia told ANI.
Arvind Kejriwal was arrested by the ED on March 21 in connection with a money laundering probe relating to alleged irregularities in the now-cancelled Delhi excise policy 2021-22.
Last week, Manish Sisodia began his ‘padyatra’, reconnecting with the masses after 17 months of imprisonment.
In February 2023, Sisodia was arrested by the CBI for alleged irregularities in the framing and implementation of now-scrapped Delhi’s new excise policy.
The policy was withdrawn amid allegations of foul play by the opposition.
According to the CBI, Sisodia had played the most vital role in the criminal conspiracy and he had been deeply involved in the formulation as well as the implementation of the said policy.
Assembly polls in Delhi are expected to be held in early 2025. Congress could not win a single seat in the Delhi assembly polls held in 2020. While the AAP won 62 out of the 70 seats, the BJP secured eighth seats in the last assembly polls. (ANI)
