Arvind Kejriwal To Hold Key Meeting With AAP Leaders On Sunday; Delhi LS Polls On Agenda: Party Sources

Arvind Kejriwal, the AAP national convenor, was granted interim bail till June 1 by the Supreme Court on Friday in a purported money laundering case linked to the alleged Delhi excise policy scam.

Delhi Chief Minister and Aam Aadmi Party supremo Arvind Kejriwal, who is out on a 21-day interim bail in the alleged liquor scam case, will hold a meeting with all AAP MLAs on Sunday. As per party sources, the Delhi Lok Sabha Election 2024 will be on the agenda in the key meeting which will be held at the Chief Minister’s residence in Civil Lines.

“It is a key meeting and will also see discussions on the Lok Sabha polls in Delhi on May 25,” news agency PTI quoted a party source as saying.

‘Opposition will be jailed if BJP wins’

Meanwhile, earlier today, Kejriwal held a press conference and addressed AAP workers at the party’s headquarters in the national capital. The Delhi CM claimed that all opposition leaders, including his West Bengal counterpart Mamata Banerjee, Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray and RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav, will be jailed if the BJP wins the Lok Sabha polls.

Kejriwal, however, asserted that the BJP will not return to power and expressed confidence that the INDIA bloc will form the government on June 4.

“In last 20 hours after release from jail, I talked to poll experts and people and got to know the BJP is not going to form the government,” said Kejriwal.

“The AAP will be part of the government at the Centre. We will get full statehood for Delhi,” he added.

‘Will Modi retire at 75?’

Arvind Kejriwal charged that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is asking for votes for Union Home Minister Amit Shah.

“These people ask INDIA bloc about their face. I ask BJP who will be their PM? Modi ji is turning 75 on September 17 next year. He had made the rule that people aged 75 will be retired. They retired LK Advani, Murli Manohar Joshi, Sumitra Mahajan,” said Kejriwal.

“He will retire next year. He is seeking votes for making Amit Shah the prime minister. Will Shah fulfil Modiji”s guarantee?” he asked.

Arvind Kejriwal, the AAP national convenor, was granted interim bail till June 1 by the Supreme Court on Friday in a purported money laundering case linked to the alleged Delhi excise policy scam.

The apex court has asked the Delhi CM to surrender on June 2 after the end of his 21-day bail period.
