Addressing a gathering in support of AAP’s Akaltara candidate, Anand Prakash Miri, Kejriwal reaffirmed the principles on which the AAP is founded, stating, “AAP is based on staunch honesty, patriotism, and humanity.” The roadshow drew prominent party members, including Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann and party national general secretary Sandeep Pathak, demonstrating solidarity within the party.
Kejriwal’s response came amid ongoing political tensions and legal matters, with the Enforcement Directorate’s summons as the latest development. He challenged the BJP’s rhetoric and their threats of arrest, stating, “In Delhi, the BJP has been threatening every day that it will arrest Kejriwal. You can arrest Kejriwal’s body, but how will you arrest Kejriwal’s thoughts?”
Reflecting on the transformative impact of the AAP in Delhi a decade ago, Kejriwal underscored, “Ten years ago, the people of Delhi had changed the politics of the country (AAP victory in Assembly polls).” He emphasized that the positive changes in Delhi, such as the construction of good schools and hospitals, along with the establishment of Mohalla clinics, have garnered support not only in the national capital but also in Punjab.
Regarding the ongoing political landscape, Kejriwal remarked, “Seeing our work in Delhi, Punjab also blessed us. Now work like Delhi is going on in Punjab. Good schools and hospitals are being built. Mohalla clinics are getting opened.”
The Akaltara Assembly seat is among the 70 constituencies set to go to polls in the second phase of elections on November 17, with the first phase involving 20 constituencies scheduled for November 7. The votes cast in Chhattisgarh will be counted on December 3.
Kejriwal’s steadfast response serves as a testament to his commitment to his party’s principles and the issues at hand, highlighting the ongoing political dynamics as the election season progresses.
