The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) organised a walkathon on Sunday to show solidarity with Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, who is currently in jail for his involvement in the Delhi excise policy case.

 

The rally was held in Delhi's Old Rajendra Nagar and Karol Bagh. Supporters for the AAP marched with banners bearing the picture of Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and the slogan "Jail ka jawab vote se (Answer to jail through votes)".

 

Prominent AAP leaders, including Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh, Delhi state convenor Gopal Rai, Delhi Minister Saurabh Bharadwaj, Lok Sabha candidate Somnath Bharti, Mayor Shelly Oberoi, MLA Durgesh Pathak, MLA Vishesh Ravi, and MLA Shiv Charan Goel participated in the march.

 

Delhi state convenor Gopal Rai expressed dissatisfaction over Kejriwal's arrest, stating that it has stirred anger among Delhi residents.

 

“The manner in which the BJP imprisoned CM Kejriwal, despite his overwhelming electoral mandate, and without any substantiated evidence or formal charges, has sparked widespread anger among the residents of Delhi,” Rai said, adding that people are supporting us to give the answer of ‘jail’ with votes on May 25”.

 

Shelly Oberoi, Delhi MCD Mayor, emphasized the walkathon's role in raising awareness about the voting power and the imperative of safeguarding democracy and the Constitution.
