Digital Desk: Preparations to arrest Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Raghav Chadha have been underway since his appointment as the party's co-in charge for the Gujarat assembly elections, according to Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Friday. In an apparent dig at the BJP, the AAP chief tweeted that "these people" are currently deliberating on the "case and allegations" to be leveled against the Rajya Sabha member.
"We are hearing
that these people will arrest Raghav Chadha now that he has been appointed as a co-in charge of Gujarat and has begun participating in poll campaigns in
Gujarat," said Kejriwal, the AAP's national convenor, in a Hindi tweet.
"In which case
they will (arrest) and what the allegations will be, these people are currently
working on these points," he added.
On Tuesday, the CBI
arrested the party's media communications in-charge, Vijay Nair, in connection
with the alleged Delhi excise policy scam.
Raghav Chadha echoed
his party leader's claim, saying the BJP has lost sleep over the AAP's rise.
"We are Bhagat
Singh supporters, and we are not afraid of your jail walls or the noose,"
he added.
Manish Sisodia, the deputy chief minister of Delhi who is under investigation for an alleged liquor scam, said the BJP wants to avoid a loss in Gujarat by arresting AAP leaders. Sisodia claimed that the saffron party has squandered 27 years of Gujarati people's time by failing to build "good schools and hospitals," and that the public wants Kejriwal to reconsider.
