Kejriwal, Sisodia offer prayers at Hanuman Temple
Just a day after the Rouse Avenue Court cleared their names in the excise policy case and reaffirmed their reputation for uncompromising integrity, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) National Convenor and former Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal, along with Punjab Prabhari and former Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia, offered prayers at the ancient Hanuman Temple in Connaught Place on Saturday.
Meanwhile, the Aam Aadmi Party has claimed that the Delhi Police has denied it permission to hold a rally at Jantar Mantar on March 1.
However, Delhi Police officials stated that no decision has been taken so far. “The matter is under consideration, the permission has neither been rejected nor approved so far,” a senior police officer said.
Accompanied by Sunita Kejriwal, former Minister Satyendar Jain, MP Sanjay Singh, MLA Kuldeep Kumar, former MLA Durgesh Pathak and other senior leaders, they performed rituals and sought the blessings of Bajrang Bali for peace, courage and the well-being of all.
After offering prayers to Lord Bajrang Bali, Kejriwal stated, “Today, along with my wife Sunita (Kejriwal) and other party colleagues, I bowed my head at the feet of Lord Bajrang Bali Ji at the Pracheen Hanuman Mandir located in Connaught Place. May the Lord maintain happiness, peace, and courage in everyone’s life. May He bring welfare to all. Jai Bajrang Bali.” The AAP supremo stated, “With the blessings of the people, Bajrang Bali and the Constitution framed by Babasaheb Ambedkar, all of us have received justice from the court.”
Echoing similar sentiments, senior leader and Punjab Prabhari Manish Sisodia said, “Those who have the blessings of Sankatmochan Hanuman upon them cannot be intimidated or defeated.”
According to a press statement issued by the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), as news spread about Kejriwal’s visit to the ancient Hanuman Temple, a large number of people from across Delhi gathered there to meet him. People shook hands with Kejriwal, took selfies and congratulated him on being cleared of false cases in court and regaining his image as a staunchly honest leader. Women, in particular, showed great enthusiasm to meet him. Many women placed their hands on Kejriwal’s head and blessed him with a long life.
Sharing details about the public rally at Jantar Mantar, AAP’s Delhi State President Saurabh Bharadwaj said that on Sunday (1 March) at 11 am, the party’s entire national leadership will assemble at Jantar Mantar for a major gathering. Leaders from Delhi, Punjab, Gujarat, Goa, and across the country will participate.
“Party National Convenor Arvind Kejriwal will present his views and outline what direction he will show the country going forward,” he said. The voice that rises from Jantar Mantar, he said, will resonate across the nation, and people everywhere are eagerly awaiting Arvind Kejriwal’s address.
