New Delhi:
Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal — out of Tihar Jail on interim bail — told people during a roadshow today that he would not have to go back to jail if they vote for him. “I have to go back to jail after 20 days. If you choose jhadu (AAP’s symbol), I won’t have to go back to jail,” the Chief Minister said.
Accompanied by his Punjab counterpart Bhagwant Mann, Mr Kejriwal held a roadshow in Moti Nagar in support of Somnath Bharti, the party’s candidate for the New Delhi seat.
“They sent me to jail because I worked for you. The BJP does not want that work of Delhi people are done,” he said.
“If I went back to jail, the BJP would stop your work, free electricity, degrade schools and shut down hospitals and Mohalla Clinics,” he said.
Delhi votes for its seven Lok Sabha seats on May 25.
The AAP chief — arrested in the Delhi liquor policy case — is out on interim bail till June 1. He has to surrender on June 2.
