Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Wednesday broke down as he remembered his former deputy Manish Sisodia while inaugurating a new branch of B R Ambedkar School of Specialised Excellence in Bawana. Kejriwal also emphasised that if it weren’t for Manish Sisodia’s unwavering commitment to building world-class schools, such targeted actions would not have been taken against him.
Kejriwal’s voice quivered with genuine emotion as he addressed the children. “Today, I deeply miss Manish Sisodia. They framed false charges against him and jailed him in an unjust manner,” he said, trying to gather himself as he broke down.
“I am sure that Manish Sisodia will come out of the jail very soon. Truth always wins. He has been jailed because he has been building good schools and the Aam Aadmi Party is getting popular,” the AAP supremo said.
Tears welled up in Kejriwal’s eyes as he voiced his frustration, pointing out that there are individuals with criminal intentions roaming freely while Manish Sisodia remains behind bars. He attributed his arrest to his dedication in building excellent schools in Delhi, which surpassed the achievements of the Central Government.
Taking a dig at Kejriwal, Delhi BJP president Virendra Sachdeva said that AAP converner is trying to portrait that Sisodia has been sent to jail in some case related to the Education Department, but the truth is that he has been jailed in the liquor scam of the Excise Department.
