The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP)youth wing on Sunday organised a walkathon, ‘Walk for Kejriwal’, in support of Chief Minister  Arvind Kejriwal under the ‘Jail Ka Jawab Vote Se’ campaign. The entire Delhi united against the conspiratorial arrest of   Arvind Kejriwal, the party said.

A large number of youth and supporters participated in the program organized near Deshbandhu College in South Delhi. Delhi government’s cabinet ministers Saurabh Bharadwaj and  Atishi, Rajya Sabha MP N D Gupta and national secretary  Pankaj Gupta, along with AAP Lok Sabha candidates Somnath Bharti and Sahiram Pahalwan were in attendance. People were wearing yellow T-shirts with ‘Jail ka Jawab Vote Se’ written on them and holding AAP flags in their hands.

The BJP’s so-called washing machine was also installed at the venue. Bharadwaj told people how after getting washed in this washing machine of the BJP, all the sins of the corrupt leaders are washed away.

As a symbol, he put four people with the names of famous corrupt leaders in the washing machine, including Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sharma, Maharashtra’s Deputy CM Ajit Pawar, Lok Sabha candidate from Kurukshetra Naveen Jindal and MLA Janardhana Reddy, and after washing for some time, they came out purified.

Once these leaders are put in BJP’s washing machine, they come out clean and are given big positions, like Lok Sabha candidates and Chief Ministers, said the AAP minister.

Bharadwaj said the people of Delhi are running a campaign ‘Jail ka Jawab Vote se’ in protest against the way Kejriwal has been sent to jail. He said a diabetic patient (Kejriwal) was denied insulin for a month, an attempt was made to kill him. He is not being allowed to meet his family and MPs. It is obvious that efforts are being made to break Kejriwal, but he is not going to succumb, the minister asserted.

The senior AAP leader said it is clear that the Prime Minister is worried and the BJP is nervous. This nervousness is visible every day in their campaign. When the campaign started, the Prime Minister used to say that I will do this by 2047, I have a 20-year road map. He was claiming how he will take the country forward after crossing 400 seats. The BJP’s slogan was ‘400 Paar’.

The self-proclaimed biggest party (BJP) said that it will change the Constitution. These people are not even talking about 2024, they are directly jumping to 2047. The BJP were making big claims while giving the complete road map for the next 25 years but now the Prime Minister is saying that if opposition parties come to power, then this will happen, that will happen, Bhardawaj said.

That means the Prime Minister is now seeing that this time the opposition party is going to form the government and the entire country is understanding this, he said.

Atishi said the people of Delhi have come to express their support for Kejriwal through this walkathon. The BJP had thought that if they put Kejriwal in jail, then AAP would not be able to campaign.

But today, the Aam Aadmi Party is not campaigning, rather the people of Delhi are campaigning for the Aam Aadmi Party and Kejriwal, she said adding the people of Delhi are contesting the elections, and the people of Delhi will win the elections.
