Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, recently granted interim bail by the Supreme Court in the excise policy case, is under political fire from the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP). AAP leaders accuse Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah of orchestrating Kejriwal’s arrest as part of a conspiracy to undermine his political career. Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh has called for Shah’s resignation, arguing that the CBI’s delayed action against Kejriwal suggests political motives. Singh emphasized that Kejriwal remains capable of fulfilling his duties as chief minister, as the Supreme Court has not imposed restrictions on his ability to sign files that need approval from the Lieutenant Governor.
On Saturday, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) sharply criticized the BJP-led central government following the Supreme Court’s decision to grant interim bail to Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal in the ongoing excise policy case. AAP leader Sanjay Singh accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah of conspiring to arrest Kejriwal and demanded Shah’s resignation, highlighting that despite the court’s bail conditions, Kejriwal remains free to perform his duties as chief minister.
Singh emphasized that the Supreme Court’s remarks supported AAP’s long-held belief that the arrest was politically motivated. He pointed out that Shah’s actions are intended to undermine Kejriwal’s political standing. Additionally, Singh questioned why the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) took 22 months to proceed with the arrest, suggesting it was executed under Shah’s directives.
Singh argued that a home minister who seeks to destabilize governments and manipulate political dynamics should not hold office. He reassured supporters that Kejriwal, who does not have a government department under his portfolio, will continue to lead effectively, particularly in matters that require his signature for the lieutenant governor’s approval.
Stay tuned for further updates on this evolving political story as the AAP continues to challenge the central government.
