Arvind Kejriwal will finally step out of jail on Thursday, six months after he was arrested in the alleged Delhi excise policy scam, only freed briefly during the Lok Sabha elections. While AAP celebrates its leader’s bail that was granted by the Supreme Court earlier today, the calls for Kejriwal’s resignation have become stronger.
The apex court has set a “conditional bail” to Aam Aadmi Party convenor Arvind Kejriwal, said BJP as it demanded his resignation from the post of chief minister.
While reading out its judgment, the SC said that Kejriwal would not be allowed to visit his office or the Delhi Secretariat and could not sign any files. BJP, therefore, questioned his role in the government.
‘Bail wala CM’
Taking potshots at Kejriwal, BJP spokesperson Gaurav Bhatia said, “The Supreme Court has shown a mirror to ‘kattar beimaan’ AAP convenor Arvind Kejriwal once again. He has got conditional bail. The ‘jail wala’ CM is now a ‘bail wala’ CM.”

He added that Kejriwal used to advocate that a political leader should resign their post even if there is any allegation against them.
“Arvind Kejriwal CM should resign as per the voice of the people of Delhi… But he will not do that because he does not have even a drop of morality,” Bhatia said.
“What kind of chief minister is he if he cannot even visit his own office?” asked the spokesperson.
AAP rejoices
Meanwhile, the Aam Aadmi Party has welcomed the top court’s decision and is waiting for Kejriwal to come out of jail.
“This is an emotional moment for all of us that our brother and political Guru Arvind Kejriwal is going to be out after all the evil plans designed by the BJP… The SC has given a message to the BJP that they have to stop their dictatorship,” Delhi Deputy CM Manish Sisodia, who was also released on bail a few days ago, said.
Arvind Kejriwal’s wife Sunita Kejriwal said, “BJP’s plans have been washed away. Their only goal is to jail leaders of the Opposition.”
