Sunita Kejriwal stood through the sunroof of her vehicle, greeting voters in the Kondli region of the East Delhi constituency with folded hands.
With Arvind Kejriwal detained in connection with a money laundering case, Sunita Kejriwal has emerged as the face of the AAP’s election campaign in a bid to continue its political activities unabated.
Here are the top quotes from Sunita Kejriwal’s maiden Lok Sabha poll rally in Delhi:
- Your CM and my husband, Arvind Kejriwal, has been kept in jail for the past one month. No court has declared him guilty and investigation is going on. If the investigation goes on for 10 years, then will he be kept in jail for 10 years?
- Earlier, people were jailed only after the Court convicted someone but they have brought a new system and saying that will keep him in jail till the investigation is going on. This is dictatorship.
- Arvind Kejriwal has been a diabetic for 22 years and on insulin for 12 years. He has been denied insulin in jail. Do they want to kill Arvind Kejriwal?
- I know that you people love him and that’s their problem. What is his fault?
- Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal was jailed because he built schools, provided free electricity, and opened Mohalla Clinics.
- This nation is headed towards dictatorship. Realise the power of your vote. On May 25, we will vote to remove dictatorship and save democracy. We will fight together and win.
Hailing the turnout as a demonstration of people’s affection towards the Kejriwal family, Delhi minister and AAP leader Atishi said, “BJP put Arvind Kejriwal in jail thinking that they can stop him from campaigning but now lakhs of Arvind Kejriwal have hit the streets for campaigning. This is the love of people of Delhi. So many people have gathered to give their blessings to Arvind Kejriwal and Sunita Kejriwal.”
AAP leader Gopal Rai, echoing similar sentiments, said, “People of Delhi are angry with the arrest of CM Arvind Kejriwal. From today, through roadshow of Sunita Kejriwal, we’re starting the campaigning for the 3rd phase of elections. BJP is scared of AAP’s campaigning.”
Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal’s wife will take forward AAP’s electoral drive, leading upcoming roadshows including the one scheduled for the West Delhi Lok Sabha constituency this Sunday. Sunita Kejriwal will further extend her campaign efforts to support AAP candidates in constituencies across South Delhi and New Delhi, along with key regions like Gujarat, Haryana, and Punjab, as informed by party leaders.
