Arvind Kejriwal: AAP Will Win All The Seats In Delhi
Kejriwal is out on interim bail until June 1 to continue his election campaign, but after the period ends, he will have to surrender himself back to the authorities.
The Chief Minister of Delhi, Arvind Kejriwal, made a very bold statement in a recent interview. He stated that the Aam Aadmi Party will win 70 seats if he contests from behind bars. He said the public can't be fooled, and they see everything. If I'm in jail during the next assembly elections, AAP will clinch all the seats in Delhi. Arvind Kejriwal was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) because of his involvement in the Delhi liquor policy case.
Arvind Kejriwal further emphasized, "Put all our MLAs in jail and let the voting take place in Delhi. Do they think people are fools? The people see everything."
Arvind Kejriwal stated that he did not resign from the post of Chief Minister of Delhi even after being in jail because that is exactly what Prime Minister Narendra Modi wants. He said, "This is what Modi Ji wants. He knows he can't defeat me in Delhi, and hence this whole conspiracy has been hatched. If I resign, the next target will be Mamata Banerjee in Bengal, Pinarayi Vijayan in Kerala, MK Stalin in Tamil Nadu, and so on. They (the BJP) want to arrest opposition leaders and shut down their governments."

He assured people that he was not hungry for power and claimed that his resignation would cause harm to democracy. "I am not hungry for power. I left the Income Tax Commissioner's post to work in slums. I quit from the government after 49 days (in 2013). But it is a part of our struggle that I am not quitting as chief minister this time," Mr. Arvind Kejriwal said.
