The Special CBI Court at Rouse Avenue in Delhi has allowed a 4-day extension of the ED remand of the chief minister of Delhi-Arvind Kejriwal and so the Chief Minister is in the custody of ED now until 1 April. The ED has been put forward a week extension demand by the court in the case of the evaporation of liquor policy involving the AAP national convener. Kejriwal, who was in the moment, responded to media queries relating to the Deli L-G VK Saxena’s recent statement while marking it as a political conspiracy and trying to win public support.
The courtroom atmosphere was electric as Kejriwal’s (accused 1) wife, Sunita Kejriwal, hinted at an imminent (incoming, approaching, waiting to happen) “big expose” by her husband over the alleged purchase of liquor policy at an enhanced price. In the courtroom, prominent AAP leaders Atishi and Sunita sat with us to witness the remand hearing.
Nevertheless, the Delhi High Court quashed a plea looking forward to entrusting the responsibility of being Delhi’s Chief Minister to anyone else by claiming that the judiciary has no room to interfere in this matter. Following that, the AAP cited Saurabh Bharadwaj, one of its leaders, stating to have connections with the BJP who have attempted to bribe AAP MLAs with financial in return for better security and even promises of parliamentary seats.
What will the AAP’s future look like as it moves forward? The party is basically on the brink of an existential crisis in the case of Kejriwal. He is not provided timely justice; he has no way out. With the loss of a popular mass-reach leader, AAP is presently facing a more severe problem in the short term.
It may not be possible for voters to overlook the Congress and direct their votes to the incumbent party of the same state, i.e. the Congress. The days that are about to unfold will carry enormous significance in shaping the future of our party and the entire political spectrum.
