New Delhi [India], April 18 : Delhi Minister and Aam Aadmi Party leader Gopal Rai on Thursday launched a scathing attack on the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) saying that a Chief Minister (Arvind Kejriwal) who worked for the public was put in jail in the middle of elections.
"Every person who elected Arvind Kejriwal as the CM is angry. We hold 'Sankalp Sabha' in 200 places in the city. Using the power of their vote on 25 May, the people of Delhi will give an answer, and bring Arvind Kejriwal out of jail." he said.
He further stated that the people of Delhi will end this dictatorship by the BJP by exercising their right to vote. The answer will be given on May 25.
Meanwhile, a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) has been moved in Delhi High Court seeking direction to grant extraordinary interim bail to Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal in all the criminal cases.
The plea stated that to fulfil the responsibilities of the Chief Minister of the National Capital Territory (NCT) of Delhi, the physical presence of Arvind Kejriwal is required in his office and home "24 Hours X 7 days a week" to take quick decisions for the welfare of the public at large.
Earlier, a former Minister from the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and former MLA recently moved a petition in the Delhi High Court, seeking the removal of Arvind Kejriwal from holding the post of Chief Minister.
The petition claiming a writ of quo-warranto against Arvind Kejriwal alleged that he has incurred the incapacity to hold the office of the Chief Minister of Delhi after his arrest by the Directorate of Enforcement (ED) in the Delhi Excise Policy case.
Kejriwal was arrested on March 21 by the ED about the Delhi Excise Policy case.
The trial court, on April 15, extended the judicial custody of Arvind Kejriwal till April 23. The ED alleged that the Aam Adami Party (AAP) is the major beneficiary of the proceeds of crime generated in the alleged liquor scam.
