BJP knows only Arvind Kejriwal and AAP can take on them, so they are keeping our leader in jail because they are scared: Minister Brahm Shanker Jimpa
Addressing the gathering during the protest, Cabinet Minister Brahm Shanker Jimpa said that ED and CBI are being misused blatantly. After the Gujarat elections, the BJP understood that if anyone can give tough competition to them, it is Arvind Kejriwal's Aam Aadmi Party. He added that the AAP has done revolutionary work in the field of education and health in Delhi and Punjab. The word was spreading in the entire country, so the BJP got scared and started arresting the AAP leaders under a false case. The truth never gets scared and the truth cannot be suppressed for long. The witnesses in this case had directly given money to the BJP. Arvind Kejriwal got bail from session court and then he was about to get bail from the Supreme Court then the CBI wrongfully arrested him.
First ED arrested and kept Arvind Kejriwal in jail in a false case, when he was about to get bail, then CBI wrongfully arrested him, their only motive is to keep Arvind Kejriwal in jail: Minister Laljit Singh Bhullar
Minister Lalji Singh Bhullar said that today we all have gathered in support of our beloved leader Arvind Kejriwal and the INDIA alliance is staging such protests nationwide to oppose the misuse of central agencies. First, ED put Arvind Kejriwal in jail in a false case and when Modi and Amit Shah came to know that he had gotten bail, then CBI filed another case and stopped Arvind Kejriwal ji's bail. If there had been any scam, then the agencies would have found some money or money trail, but the agencies did not get even ₹1 because there was no corruption or scam.
Bhullar added that First Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren was arrested, then Delhi's three-time Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal was arrested. The reason for arresting him was that the BJP knew that if Arvind Kejriwal continues to campaign, the INDIA Alliance government is sure to be formed in the country. Earlier, the BJP people used to give the slogan of crossing 400, but their party got only 240 seats. If Kejriwal had campaigned, they would not have even won 140 seats.
