Manish Sisodia, the former Deputy Chief Minister of Delhi, recently voiced a sentiment that resonates with many supporters of Arvind Kejriwal, stating, “People are praying that Kejriwal comes out as soon as possible.” This statement comes amid ongoing legal troubles faced by Kejriwal, who has been embroiled in a high-profile case related to the alleged excise policy scam.

Kejriwal, the leader of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), has been in custody following his arrest by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in connection with allegations of corruption. Sisodia emphasized the public’s hope for Kejriwal’s swift release, framing it as a fight against what he describes as a “dictatorship” in the country. He has portrayed Kejriwal as a martyr for democracy, suggesting that the Chief Minister’s imprisonment is an attempt to suppress dissenting voices in Indian politics.
The AAP has rallied around Kejriwal, with party members asserting his innocence and criticizing the CBI’s actions as politically motivated. Sisodia’s remarks reflect a broader narrative within the party that positions Kejriwal’s struggles as emblematic of a larger battle for justice and transparency in governance. The AAP has organized various events to express solidarity with Kejriwal and to highlight what they perceive as an unjust legal battle.
In his statements, Sisodia also pointed out that Kejriwal had never implicated him in the ongoing investigations, reinforcing the idea that the party’s leadership stands united against the allegations. This unity is crucial for the AAP as it navigates the political landscape during this tumultuous period, seeking to maintain public support while facing significant legal challenges.
Overall, Sisodia’s comments encapsulate the sentiments of many AAP supporters who view Kejriwal’s situation as a critical juncture in the fight for democratic principles in India.
