A day after Arvind Kejriwal was despatched to Tihar jail until April 15, Delhi minister Atishi alleged on Tuesday that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) had approached her by way of somebody very shut providing her to affix the get together and “save her political career”. Atishi additionally alleged that she was cautioned that if she declined the supply, she could possibly be arrested by the Enforcement Directorate inside one month. She alleged that ED has deliberate to arrest 4 AAP leaders, together with herself, Saurabh Bhardwaj, Durgesh Pathak and Raghav Chadha within the liquor excise case. This allegation comes on the heels of a purported revelation made by Kejriwal to ED throughout interrogation that the liquor case accused Vijay Nair by no means reported to him and that he used to report back to Atishi and Saurabh Bhardwaj.
Meanwhile, AAP MP Sanjay Singh, who has been in jail since October final yr, was granted bail on Tuesday by the Supreme Court after ED didn’t oppose his bail petition. On Tuesday, almost 55 AAP MLAs from Delhi met Arvind Kejriwal’s spouse Sunita and asserted that the Delhi chief minister ought to proceed to run the federal government from jail and should not resign at any value. The BJP has demanded that Kejriwal ought to resign as a result of he shouldn’t run a authorities from jail. Sending Kejriwal to jail was a foregone conclusion and even the AAP supremo knew that. This was the explanation why he repeatedly ignored 9 summons despatched by ED for questioning. Kejriwal had anticipated that his arrest could possibly be postponed until the Lok Sabha elections had been over, however his hopes had been belied.
To me, the shocking half is why Kejriwal named his two shut confidantes Atishi and Saurabh Bharadwaj within the liquor excise case? Kejriwal knew these two ministers could possibly be despatched summons for questioning in the event that they had been named. Then why did he put each these lively get together leaders in problem and that too, on the eve of elections? Some insiders say that Kejriwal needed each these two leaders to be arrested too, in order that his partymen might go and inform the those that the Modi authorities needs to maintain his get together away from elections. Both Atishi and Saurabh Bharadwaj had been defending Kejriwal each day at press conferences they usually had been current in courtroom on Monday. Both of them had been leaders in AAP who might have develop into claimants for the CM’s chair, with Kejriwal in jail.
Some folks have began saying, if these two leaders had been made accused within the liquor excise rip-off, there shall be no sturdy contender left for the CM publish besides Sunita Kejriwal. They say, this was the explanation why Kejriwal took the gambit so as to clear the trail for his spouse to develop into chief minister. Both Atishi and Saurabh Bhardwaj had been shocked when ED instructed the courtroom on Monday that Kejriwal had named each of them to whom accused Vijay Nair was reporting. People who know in regards to the functioning of AAP from the within, say that no person ought to anticipate Atishi to say something towards Kejriwal. This is what she did on Tuesday. It is barely Kejriwal who can reveal what’s going on within the inside layers of his thoughts.
