New Delhi, India - Addressing a public rally in Janakpuri, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal made a striking appeal to voters, linking his potential imprisonment to the outcome of the upcoming elections. Kejriwal, who is currently out on bail granted by the Supreme Court in connection with a liquor scam, stated, "They are saying that Kejriwal would again have to go to jail on June 2...If you press the 'lotus' button I will be sent behind bars and if you press the 'jhadu' button I will be free."
Kejriwal's comments come amid ongoing legal challenges, including his bail in the high-profile liquor scam case. The 'lotus' symbolizes the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), while the 'jhadu' represents the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP).
The Delhi CM's speech emphasized the alleged political vendetta against him, suggesting that a BJP victory could lead to his incarceration, while a win for AAP would ensure his continued leadership. "They are saying that Kejriwal would again have to go to jail on June 2...If you press the 'lotus' button I will be sent behind bars and if you press the 'jhadu' button I will be free," Kejriwal said, rallying his supporters to choose wisely in the upcoming elections.
The Janakpuri rally drew significant attention, with many supporters pledging their backing in light of Kejriwal's legal battles and his call to action. This narrative aims to resonate with voters who are disillusioned with traditional political parties and seek a change.
Political analysts suggest that Kejriwal's remarks are part of a broader strategy to portray himself as a victim of political persecution, enhancing his appeal as a leader fighting against corruption and for the common people. As the election date approaches, the political temperature in Delhi is expected to rise further.
