AAP assembles on a walk for Kejriwal, legal battle continues

New Delhi: The Aam Aadmi Party organized a walkathon on Sunday morning, a dedicated 'Walk for Kejriwal,' to bolster the detained Delhi Chief Minister, who has been locked up by the Enforcement Directorate, amidst the Chief Minister's move to the Supreme Court, labeling the arrest as illegal, ANI reported.

The event aims to galvanise support for Kejriwal, who is facing the heat of ongoing legal battles, notably his recent arrest by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in connection with a money laundering case linked to the liquor policy.

Minister and senior AAP leader Saurabh Bharadwaj, while participating in the walkathon, emphasised the party's stance on corruption. "Today the youth wing of the party has organised a walkathon. We have installed a BJP washing machine here, if you put any corrupt leader in this machine, he will come out clean," Bharadwaj asserted, drawing attention to the party's anti-corruption narrative.

"PM Narendra Modi is very nervous. The way he has changed his stance in his election rallies makes it clear that even he believes that the Opposition is coming to power," he said, reflecting on the political dynamics at play amidst the ongoing Lok Sabha elections.

Echoing Bharadwaj's sentiments, another AAP leader and Delhi Minister, Atishi, reiterated the resolve of the people to stand behind Kejriwal in these testing times.

"Today through this walkathon, the people of Delhi have come to express their support for Kejriwal ji. BJP thought that if they put Arvind Kejriwal in jail, AAP will not be able to campaign for the elections. But the people of Delhi are campaigning for Arvind Kejriwal," Atishi said.
