Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Thursday sharpened his attack on the Central Government and said he had learnt from reliable sources that Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia would be arrested in the coming days on the pretext of a “false case”.
Kejriwal appealed to Prime Minister Narendra Modi to arrest all Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Ministers and MLAs together and investigate them, expressing confidence that they would all come out unscathed at the end of it.
Referring to Sisodia as the pioneer of India’s education revolution and perhaps the best Education Minister of Independent India, the Chief Minister said he is a ray of hope for not just Delhi, but for the children of the entire country he is probably the best Education Minister of Independent India.
Addressing a Press conference, Kejriwal said, “You will remember that I had told you some months ago that the Central Government will arrest Satyendar Jain in a false case. I had learnt this from very reliable sources.”
The same sources told me yesterday (Tuesday) that the Central Government will arrest Sisodia too in the next few days. The Central Government has told all agencies to fabricate cases against Sisodia,” Kejriwal said.
“My appeal to the PM with folded hands is that instead of picking us up one by one, please put all ministers and MLAs of the Aam Aadmi Party in jail together. Tell all your agencies to do their investigation in one go. You arrest ministers one by one, this inconveniences the work being done for the public,” said Kejriwal.
He recalled that even five years ago, over 20 AAP MLAs were arrested by the Centre’s agencies, but they all were acquitted and the courts rapped the investigators.
The AAP supremo also said the progress of several important projects of Delhi like Yamuna cleaning and opening of new mohalla clinics has been hampered following the arrest of Jain.
