AAP seeks CM release, BJP demands his resignation

Thursday, 28 March 2024 | Staff Reporter | New Delhi

A high voltage political drama continued on Wednesday as Delhi BJP workers and supporters protested outside the Delhi Assembly.  The BJP workers and supporters protested, demanding the resignation of Kejriwal while the AAP leaders held a protest outside the Delhi Assembly, seeking immediate release of their leader. AAP's legal cell also held a protest in the court's premises against the arrest of Kejriwal by the ED.

Earlier, a BJP delegation, led by their Delhi unit president Virendra Sachdeva, met Police Commissioner Sanjay Arora on Wednesday to demand a probe into the “letters” being sent by Kejriwal to his ministers from the Enforcement Directorate (ED) custody. Delhi BJP Media Head Praveen Shankar Kapoor, Spokesperson  and Advocate Amit Tiwari, Media Relations Head Vikram Mittal, Office Secretary Brijesh Rai and Advocate Shoumendu Mukherjee were also present during the meeting.

After the Assembly proceedings were adjourned, BJP leaders, led by the party's Delhi unit president Virendra Sachdeva, staged a counter-protest outside the House, calling for Kejriwal's resignation. Delhi BJP workers and supporters held a demonstration outside the entrance of the Assembly premises around 12 noon with a group of about 100 party workers from Mayur Vihar, along with the party's Mahila Morcha and Yuva Morcha office-bearers, demanding the resignation of Kejriwal.

Dressed in black, the BJP workers gathered at the Vidhan Sabha entrance gate and started raising slogans. Sachdeva himself scaled over the gate shouting slogans. Police did not allow them to enter the Assembly premises. The security personnel locked the main gate and subsequently, detained the protesters.

“Our demand is that because Arvind Kejriwal is corrupt and has looted Delhi, he should resign. AAP is shielding the thieves. A person in custody is maintaining his position as a CM. How is this ethical? AAP should think this through, and Kejriwal should resign.”

“They would not have needed to release letters from jail if they had served the people in the past 9 years. Arvind Kejriwal is missing his palace and the facilities in jail,” he said.

Sachdeva said the people of Delhi are frustrated watching the illegal political melodrama of the Kejriwal government and claimed that they will teach a lesson to the AAP-Congress alliance in the upcoming Lok Sabha polls by totally rejecting them.

He said two ministers of the Delhi government are already in jail and claimed that Atishi and Saurabh Bharadwaj might also land in prison soon for allegedly issuing fake letters.

Before the commencement of the Assembly proceedings, the AAP MLAs also staged a protest outside the House and raised slogans demanding Kejriwal's immediate release from the Enforcement Directorate's (ED) custody.Party leaders, including Atishi and Bharadwaj, were part of the protest. They were dressed in yellow T-shirts with slogans like “Main Bhi Kejriwal” and “Modi ka Sabse Bada Dar Kejriwal” written on those.
