Energized by his exoneration in the Delhi liquor scam case, AAP national convenor Arvind Kejriwal took to the Jantar Mantar stage to deliver a blistering critique of BJP and Congress governance. Amid cheers from thousands, he reaffirmed his patriotism, stating plainly, ‘My India is dear to me, and I am not corrupt.’
The event pulsed with anticipation as Kejriwal hailed the recent judicial triumph. ‘Two days ago, a Delhi court delivered a verdict for the ages—in favor of the people,’ he said, congratulating the nation and lauding the judge’s bravery.
He swiftly pivoted to indict both parties for national deceit. Congress fell in 2014 due to a litany of scams—coal allocations, telecom licenses, sporting extravaganzas gone wrong—leaving citizens desperate for change. Yet, BJP’s 12-year reign has only deepened despair, he charged.
Kejriwal detailed the decay: pothole-ridden streets, sewer crises, aviation woes, rail neglect, polluted skies. Banks falter, schools crumble, hospitals strain—hallmarks of failed leadership. He spotlighted Gujarat’s alleged 20,000 crore drug empire, daring BJP to dismantle it.
For four years, BJP allegedly orchestrated plots against him, branding him corrupt and claiming he pocketed 100 crores. The acquittal, however, slaps these claims down, validating his integrity alongside leaders like Manish Sisodia, Satyendra Jain, and Sanjay Singh.
An IIT alumnus, Kejriwal could have chased foreign dreams but chose India’s service. Multiple BJP-initiated inquiries found zero evidence of graft. In a bold challenge, he invited anyone to prove a single bribe from his CM files over ten years—or he’d exit politics.
Supporters from eight states flooded the venue, underscoring AAP’s expanding footprint. Kejriwal’s address wasn’t just defiance; it was a clarion call for honest governance ahead of pivotal elections.
