Sunita Kejriwal, wife of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Sunday (March 31) participated in the Opposition INDIA bloc’s ‘Maha Rally’ at Ramlila Maidan in the national capital. She read out the message sent by the Chief Minister from the Enforcement Directorate’s (ED’s) custody.
Before reading her husband’s message, Sunita Kejriwal asked the crowd if Prime Minister Narendra Modi did the right thing by putting her husband in jail.
“Do you believe that Kejriwal Ji is a true patriot and honest person? These BJP people are saying that Kejriwal ji is in jail, he should resign. Should he resign? Your Kejriwal is a lion, they will not be able to keep him in jail for long,” she said.
Reading her husband’s message, she said, “I’m not asking you to make someone win or lose. I’m seeking support to make a new India.”
She also listed Kejriwal’s six guarantees ahead of the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.
