NEW DELHI:
In a show of solidarity with Chief Minister Shri Arvind Kejriwal, Delhiites participated in a collective fast at Jantar Mantar on Sunday as part of the second phase of the Blessings Campaign. From 10 am to 5 pm, workers and supporters from all corners of Delhi refrained from food, breaking their fast with juice. The event saw the presence of senior leaders and MPs of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), including Shri Sanjay Singh and Dr. Sandeep Pathak, alongside ministers such as Shri Gopal Rai, Atishi, and Shri Saurabh Bharadwaj. MLAs, Lok Sabha candidate Shri Somnath Bharti, councilors, and thousands of citizens joined in solidarity. Amidst chanting of bhajans, including “Raghupati Raghav Raja Ram,” participants voiced their opposition to dictatorship, emphasizing the importance of preserving democracy. AAP National General Secretary (Organization) Dr. Sandeep Pathak underscored CM Shri Arvind Kejriwal’s dedication to the welfare of Delhiites, urging the community to reciprocate his efforts. As tensions escalate, Pathak challenged the BJP, daring them to impose President’s Rule in Delhi, vowing a decisive response from the people.
AAP National General Secretary (Organisation) and Rajya Sabha MP, Dr. Sandeep Parhak, stated, “Shri Arvind Kejriwal has taken care of every family in Delhi. While fulfilling the responsibility of being a good son and brother of the family, he ensured good education for your children and arranged for your good treatment. He made every effort to keep your family happy and put everything at stake. Today, they have put your leader Shri Arvind Kejriwal in jail. Today, it’s time to repay all his favors and deeds. Together, we will fight and fulfill our responsibilities with complete honesty.”
Dr. Sandeep Pathak mentioned the Ramayana, saying that there’s a passage where Lord Ram goes to fight Ravana. Vibhishan sees Lord Ram and Ravana and doubts that Lord Ram has nothing, while Ravana has a grand chariot. How will lord Ram fight and win? It’s written in the Ramayana, Vibhishan asks Lord Ram how he will defeat Ravana, who has all the resources of the world. To this, Lord Ram smilingly says that one who has truth, virtue, and firmness need not fear anyone. “Today’s situation brings this context to life. On one hand, PM Modi has all his resources, while on the other hand, our leader Shri Arvind Kejriwal wears simple clothes and slippers. We don’t need any resources. We stand with the truth. We will continue this struggle. The election process will begin from Monday. If you have the courage, show it by imposing President’s rule in Delhi, we will make you non-existent in Delhi,” he affirmed.
AAP’s Ministers and MLAs should demand an investigation from the LG, president, central government into BJP’s receiving of ₹55 crores bribes: Sanjay Singh
AAP Senior Leader and Rajya Sabha MP Shri Sanjay Singh stated that from November 10 to April 25, 2023, Sarath Reddy’s 12 statements were taken by the ED. He did not mention Shri Arvind Kejriwal’s name in 10 statements. When he mentioned Shri Arvind Kejriwal’s name in the last two statements, the ED granted him bail citing back pain as an excuse. From arrest to release, he paid BJP ₹55 crores. The ED and IT officials repeatedly mention alleged liquor scams. Now the whole case is out in the open, their parents, the BJP, have committed the liquor scam. If LG Sahab has any morality and trust in the Constitution of India, then he should order an investigation by the ED, CBI, and Income Tax, into ₹55 crores bribes taken by the BJP, and putting the BJP leaders in jail, because the BJP has committed the liquor scam. Why doesn’t LG Sahab write a letter regarding the investigation into the case of taking ₹55 crores bribe? “I asked all AAP ministers and MLAs to demand an investigation from the LG, the president, and the central government into the ₹55 crore rupees received in BJP’s accounts; to interrogate and arrest BJP leaders. The BJP is committing theft and hypocrisy. The BJP has welcomed all corrupt people of the country into its party with a garland of corruption, touching their feet. Such a corrupt party speaks against corruption. BJP’s National President was Bangaru Lakshman. Bangaru Lakshman was caught taking bribes in a defense deal and was sentenced to 4 years.
I appeal to all the AAP workers, we have to take revenge for these tears with votes: Sanjay Singh
He said that after being released from jail, I went to meet CM Arvind Kejriwal’s wife Sunita Kejriwal. For the first time, I saw tears in her eyes. AAP workers have to avenge these tears. You have to go among the people of the country and Delhi and take account of these tears. Don’t fall into the trap of BJP’s 400 plus slogans, there is no truth in it. BJP people can even chant a slogan of 600 plus if they want. Some of their seats will come from Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Afghanistan, and Bangladesh. BJP gave a slogan of 45 plus in Delhi and got only 8 seats. A slogan of 200 plus was given in West Bengal and one-fourth of the seats were given. A slogan of 75 plus was given in Haryana, but 40 seats were won. Now BJP is giving a slogan of 400 plus, but it will not get more than 100 seats. The question arises if the BJP truly believes that it’s getting 400 plus seats, then why would it arrest a sitting Chief Minister, seize the Congress account, or arrest the Chief Minister of Jharkhand. If BJP was confident of getting more than 400 seats, it would not adopt such tactics. Modi Ji is losing and going back to Gujarat in 2024.
Bringing every corrupt person in the country into the BJP is Modi’s guarantee: Sanjay Singh
The AAP Rajya Sabha MP mentioned, “PM Modi says that this is ‘Modi’s guarantee’, he will not spare even a single corrupt person in the country, but will include every corrupt person from the entire country in the BJP. This is Modi’s guarantee. Modi ji’s guarantee is that he will include the accused of ₹70 thousand crores corruption, Ajit Pawar, in the BJP. Corrupt Chhagan Bhujbal, Praful Patel, Hassan Mushrif, Shinde, Naveen Jindal, Narayan Rane, Himanta Biswa Sarma, Mukul Roy, Subhendu Adhikari, Janardan Reddy, Madhu Koda, Geeta Koda, Sita Soren, Tapas Ray, Ashok Chavan’s corruption issues will be raised first and then they will be included in the BJP. Modi ji’s guarantee is to include every corrupt person in the BJP. When the BJP speaks against corruption, it seems like Osama bin Laden and Gabbar Singh are giving lessons on non-violence.”
“The BJP says that based on morality, Arvind Kejriwal should resign. Based on morality, first Hemant Soren, then Arvind Kejriwal, Bhagwant Mann, P. Vijayan, Revanth Reddy, Siddaramaiah, Mamata Banerjee should resign and the entire opposition should be ended and the BJP should loot the entire country. We will not let the BJP loot Delhi. They looted the MCD for 15 years, then Delhiites caught them and threw them into the dustbin with ‘jhadu’. These corrupt people have to be removed from power. They should not be allowed to loot the country. The people of Delhi have said that Shri Arvind Kejriwal alone will remain the Chief Minister, the Delhi Legislative Assembly has passed a resolution that Shri Arvind Kejriwal alone will remain the Chief Minister. The people of the country have said that Shri Arvind Kejriwal should remain the Chief Minister. Therefore, Shri Arvind Kejriwal is the Chief Minister and will remain so,” He said.
The AAP MP further affirmed, “The Constitution of India was written by Dr. Ambedkar, not by PM Modi or LG VK Saxena. If you put any Chief Minister in a false case and send him to jail, he will not resign.”
All AAP workers should go among the people and tell them how the BJP trapped Arvind Kejriwal in false cases: Sanjay Singh
He said that the country’s biggest corrupt party BJP’s liquor scam has been exposed in front of the whole country. The corruption of BJP worth ₹60 crores has come in front of the country. The matter of including all corrupt people of the country in the BJP has come in front of the whole country. Whether it’s schemes like Agni Veer, inflation, forgiving ₹15 lakh crore of capitalists or the case of the arrest of popular Chief Minister of Hindustan Arvind Kejriwal, each and every thing has to be answered for. If we have to account for each and every thing from the BJP, then we will have to work four times harder now. We have to go among the people and tell the truth and strengthen the resolve to uproot the BJP government in 2024. All AAP workers should go among the people and tell them how Shri Arvind Kejriwal was trapped. How false cases have been filed. The truth of the 20 thousand pages of the innocence of Shri Arvind Kejriwal hidden by the ED will come before the court in the coming days and everything will be clear. Jail doors will break and Shri Arvind Kejriwal, Shri Manish Sisodia, and Shri Satyender Jain will be released.”
The BJP works to overthrow governments one by one like goons, but we will not let this happen in Delhi-Punjab: Sanjay Singh
“We have shed blood and sweat for this country. We will not resign, we will fight against you(BJP). We were winning in Chandigarh, but the BJP cheated and defeated us. But dishonesty was caught on camera. If they (BJP) can cheat 25% of votes, in 36 votes, what will they do in the elections of the country? BJP has overthrown governments and made its own in Arunachal, Uttarakhand, Karnataka, Goa, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Bihar. The morality of BJP is to work to overthrow governments one by one like goons and criminals, but we will not let this happen in Delhi and Punjab. We will fight against the BJP all over the country. Work day and night where the Aam Aadmi Party is contesting elections. Work to win candidates of INDIA’s constituent parties. INDIA must win all seven seats in Delhi. The government of the INDIA Alliance has to be formed in 2024 and these dishonest people (BJP) have to be removed from power. If INDIA Alliance wins, your children will have good schools, hospitals, roads, mothers and sisters will get relief, and if BJP wins, they will build crematoriums in every village. Modi ji had said in UP that if there is a ‘kabrakhana’ in every village, then there should also be a ‘Shmashan’ in every village. The BJP is so ominous for the country that after that, the corona pandemic came and crematoriums were built in every village,” Shri Sanjay Singh stated.
Modi ji has to take the help of event management companies to gather crowds even in foreign countries; Kejriwal does not need this: Gopal Rai
The AAP Delhi State Convenor, Shri Gopal Rai, said that when the party’s agitation started from Jantar Mantar, candles were lit here by people from all over the country and the world, and the movement received a new voice. The same kind of change is visible in this country today. The voice of the students, youth, farmers, laborers, tribals, and the poor of this country has been sent to Tihar Jail by the Modi government. But there is pride in the fact that you are sitting at Jantar Mantar right now. People are fasting along with people from every state of the country and abroad. Today, the whole of India stands with Shri Arvind Kejriwal’s fight. When the PM goes abroad, event management companies gather people and chant ‘Modi-Modi’. Their videos are made and spread everywhere. But Shri Arvind Kejriwal does not need any event management company. Shri Arvind Kejriwal is currently in Tihar Jail and people from countries including America, Canada, Australia, Germany are fasting. Shri Arvind Kejriwal has emerged from the agitation at Jantar Mantar and Ramleela Maidan. That person had made history in the world by winning 67 out of 70 seats in his first election in Delhi.”
The bars of jail cannot break the voice, courage, and strength of Arvind Kejriwal: Gopal Rai
The AAP Delhi state Convenor of further said that whenever there is a crisis in this country, Mother India sends her sons and daughters born from her womb to solve it. That is why people from Jantar Mantar to all over the country and the world are sitting hungry for Shri Arvind Kejriwal. Today, this crisis has not only come to Delhi. The whole country is going through a crisis today. There is a tremor and fear in the hearts of the people of the country that if they speak up, then their families will be harassed, they will be arrested. But today Shri Arvind Kejriwal stands as a leader for the entire nation. He has become a ray of hope for the people of the entire country. BJP thought that if they put him in jail, Shri Arvind Kejriwal would be fine. But he said in court that I am ready for as much custody as the ED wants. This proves that the bars of jail cannot break our voice, courage, and strength.”
“The BJP leaders are roaming around everywhere saying that Shri Arvind Kejriwal should resign. I want to ask the BJP, have you made Shri Arvind Kejriwal the Chief Minister? So he should resign at your cries. Whether Shri Arvind Kejriwal remains inside or outside the jail, the government will run from there. BJP is not our high command. Our high command is not the Prime Minister of the country. Our high command is the two crore people of Delhi, who have made Shri Arvind Kejriwal the Chief Minister with their love, affection, and blessings. You cannot stop Shri Arvind Kejriwal from working even in your dreams. If they could not stop him from working as the Chief Minister, the Home Minister, or the Prime Minister of the country, then what is the status of the BJP,” he affirmed.
If BJP has the courage, they should impose President’s Rule in Delhi, their name will vanish from Delhi: Gopal Rai
He said that BJP is even pained by Arvind Kejriwal’s letter. But Sukhesh Chandrashekhar enjoys sending letters and parcels every day. These people are talking about imposing President’s Rule in Delhi. If BJP has the courage, they should try imposing President’s Rule in Delhi once, their name will vanish from Delhi. BJP people say that they will arrest Saurabh Bharadwaj, Atishi, Durgesh Pathak, and Raghav Chadha. Write the names of all the ministers, MLAs, and councilors of Delhi with mine on that list, we are ready to go to jail. Your jails will become small, but the chests of Arvind Kejriwal’s soldiers will not shrink from being arrested. Arvind Kejriwal resides in the hearts of the people of this country. He is the king of the hearts of the people of the whole country. That is why when Arvind Kejriwal came to court from jail, he said one thing that his life was dedicated to the country before and is still dedicated today. In the next two months, it will be decided whether there will be a dictatorship in the country or a government of democracy and the constitution. BJP people think that if Arvind Kejriwal is in jail, then who will do the campaigning. They do not know that every child in Delhi is Kejriwal. That is why we have to fight on the streets. There is an election in Delhi on May 25th. Press the “jhadu” symbol so hard on the EVM button that the record breaks. The Aam Aadmi Party is contesting the elections with the INDIA Alliance in the entire country. Therefore, put all your strength to win the Aam Aadmi Party and INDIA Alliance candidates in Delhi. Do not see any candidate in the election area, just see that only one person is contesting the election and his name is Arvind Kejriwal.
I salute the families of all the AAP leaders who have shown such courage and dedication despite so many difficulties: Atishi
The Senior AAP Leader and Cabinet Minister in the Kejriwal government, Ms. Atishi, said that today is the era when upon hearing the name of ED-CBI, leaders of other parties bow down, break, join BJP, but stalwart leaders of the AAP like Shri Arvind Kejriwal, Shri Manish Sisodia, Shri Satyendar Jain did not bow down, did not break, and did not join BJP even after so much difficulty. It is painful to see Shri Arvind Kejriwal in jail. Tears come to the eyes when thinking about Shri Manish Sisodia, and it feels bad thinking about Shri Satyendar Jain’s health. But we will not be sad and troubled. Instead, we will be proud of these leaders who fight against this dictatorship and will continue to fight.
“Manish Sisodia’s wife, Seema Sisodia, has been suffering from a serious illness for the past 20 years. Someone came to meet her and said that if Manish ji joins BJP, they will leave him. Even after being so ill, Seema Sisodia said that if Manish ji leaves Arvind Bhaiya, if he leaves the AAP, then I will also leave him. This is her resolve. I salute the families of all the AAP leaders who have shown such courage and dedication despite so many difficulties. I salute all the workers of the AAP who did not bow down, did not break even in such difficult circumstances. Today, for the first time in the country, all the top leaders of a party were in jail and still their workers organized a rally of lakhs of people in Ramleela Maidan. The sleep of BJP leaders has been disturbed, this is the determination of the workers of the AAP.”
Ms. Atishi shared, “Since Shri Arvind Kejriwal has been arrested, the entire Delhi has been turned into a barrack. Every protesting worker was being detained. But not a single one of our workers yielded. Therefore, I salute all the workers of ‘AAP’. The courage of the workers of ‘AAP’ has put an end to dictatorship. They know that ultimately truth will prevail, struggle will win, and it will be the victory of Shri Arvind Kejriwal, Aam Aadmi Party, and the people of this country. This struggle has just begun and we have to move forward in this struggle with full determination.”
AAP gains the most strength by fighting on the streets: Saurabh Bharadwaj
Senior leader of the Aam Aadmi Party and Cabinet Minister in the Delhi government, Shri Saurabh Bharadwaj, said that Shri Sanjay Singh works day and night. “I thank Modi ji, because of whom Shri Sanjay Singh got time to take health benefits for 6 months. Ever since Shri Sanjay Singh came out of jail, he has been back to work. The first night he came, he gave a long speech at the party office. On the second day, he gave bytes on various media channels. On the third and fourth days, he gave interviews to the media and participated in collective fasting. Today, the atmosphere at Jantar Mantar reminds me of the atmosphere in 2011-12. I think this is what gives our party the most strength. When we come to the streets and fight,” he added.
A chair is not always with someone forever; the public will respond to this dictatorship – Dr. Shelly Oberoi
The MCD Mayor, Dr. Shelly Oberoi, said that just as Ravana had arrogance about his powers, similarly the BJP sitting in the center will also have to understand that a chair is not always with someone forever. The public will respond to this dictatorship. Now even the BJP has realized that only Shri Arvind Kejriwal can give them a tough fight. All the workers are our strength. First, our government was formed three times in Delhi, then our government was formed in Punjab, and when after 15 years the Municipal Corporation slipped from BJP’s hands, panic spread within the BJP. BJP thought of finishing this party by arresting CM Shri Arvind Kejriwal. As our party grew bigger, BJP started getting scared of how to finish this party. Through this fast, we are praying that CM Shri Arvind Kejriwal will come out of jail soon. Providing good education and health is not a sin. Maintaining a good cleanliness system, taking care of women and the elderly is not a sin. BJP is plotting in such a way that all opposition leaders are kept out of the electoral arena. BJP needs to understand that it cannot fight elections alone. The huge number of people who came to the INDIA Alliance rally showed that the entire country’s public and all leaders are with Shri Arvind Kejriwal.
BJP misunderstands that arresting Arvind Kejriwal will end AAP: Kuldeep Kumar
Candidate from the East Delhi Lok Sabha seat for the INDIAAlliance, Shri Kuldeep Kumar, said that the alleged scam by the BJP-led central government to put Delhi’s son Shri Arvind Kejriwal in jail is completely fake. BJP had plotted to arrest Shri Arvind Kejriwal. Under this, first Shri Satyendar Jain, then Shri Manish Sisodia, Shri Sanjay Singh, and then Delhi Chief Minister Shri Arvind Kejriwal were targeted for arrest. BJP misunderstands that arresting Shri Arvind Kejriwal will end the Aam Aadmi Party. Shri Arvind Kejriwal is not an individual, but an ideology. We thought that Shri Arvind Kejriwal would be a national and international leader by 2029. But Modi ji’s actions have made Shri Arvind Kejriwal a national and international leader in 2024 itself. One day Shri Arvind Kejriwal will become the Prime Minister of the country and on that day BJP, ED, and CBI will also be held accountable.
Sanjay Singh has come out now, tomorrow Arvind Kejriwal, Manish Sisodia, and Satyendar Jain will also come out: Somnath Bharti
During this, INDIA Alliance candidate from New Delhi, Shri Somnath Bharti said that the BJP thought that after the arrest of Shri Arvind Kejriwal, the AAP would break. But the day they (BJP) thought so, the blessings of Lord Hanuman came. On Tuesday, such an incident happened that everyone believed that the AAP has received the blessings of Lord Shri Ram and Lord Hanuman. When the court asked the ED if any money trail was found or any recovery was made, they (ED) got lost in thought. The court said that If the ED opposes the bail, then the court will give a decision based on the merit of the entire case, and the court will give such a decision that the ED will regret and keep repenting. The direct meaning of this was that Lord Hanuman was speaking directly from the mouth of the judge that you (ED) had made a big mistake. Where no scam happened, there you have imprisoned the leaders of the AAP. Today Shri Sanjay Singh has come out, tomorrow Shri Arvind Kejriwal, Shri Manish Sisodia, and Shri Satyendar Jain will come out. Then they will realize how big a mistake they have made with us. Now the slogan ‘Mai Bhi Kejriwal’ has started echoing across the country. Now arrest everyone and see. You have less space in jails and here people who will die in the name of Kejriwal are in crores.
Senior AAP leader Shri Jasmine Shah reminded the assembly of Mahatma Gandhi’s visual metaphor of the three monkeys, ‘Bura mat dekho, Bura mat suno, Bura mat bolo (See no evil, Hear no evil, Speak no evil). He said, “The BJP has told the ED that now you also become three monkeys. How come the ED is not allowed to see anything against the BJP. Show them any fact, they (ED) say we will not see any fact against the BJP. We will not say anything against them (BJP) and we will not listen to anything against the BJP. You may bring a money trail of Rs 55 crores or present Magunta Reddy. They (ED) will not say anything, nor listen to anything, nor see anything. That is what the BJP has made of the ED.”
AAP workers joined the fast with great enthusiasm
On Sunday, AAP workers joined a collective fast at Jantar Mantar with great enthusiasm at the invitation of the Aam Aadmi Party. They chanted slogans in support of CM Arvind Kejriwal and denounced BJP’s authoritarianism through their chants. During this, MP ShriSanjay Singh boosted the enthusiasm of the activists by chanting slogans.
During this, a bhajan session was also organized. Through several songs, the bhajan singers conveyed a message to the BJP campaign that this pride is not permanent. Through the song “Aasamaan mein udne wale dharti ko pehchssn,..,” a prayer was made to the central power to use wisdom and recognize their ground and work for public welfare.
AAP workers chants ‘BJP chor hai’
When Shri Sanjay Singh mentioned during his speech about BJP taking a bribe of ₹60 crores in several installments by Sarath Reddy, the anger of the Aam Aadmi Party workers erupted. They started chanting “BJP chor hai” amidst the speech of Sanjay Singh. While chanting slogans, AAP supporters stood up and shouted loudly, causing Sanjay Singh to request them to sit down, after which they calmed down.
When Sanjay Singh said that Modi ji is losing the 2024 elections and going back to Gujarat, the Aam Aadmi Party activists were filled with enthusiasm. Activists started chanting slogans to send Modi back. Upon this, Sanjay Singh also supported them and chanted slogans bidding farewell to Modi. Bid farewell to inflation, bid farewell to unemployment, bid farewell to corruption, bid farewell to authoritarianism. Bid farewell to oppression. Bid farewell to looting. Bid farewell to Hitlerism, we will fight, we will win. This time they have to bid farewell to the country.
Ruke na, jhuke na, hum woh inquilab hain
During this, Sanjay Singh revived the enthusiasm among supporters by singing the song “Ruke na, jhuke na, hum woh inquilab hain” (Those who do not stop, do not bow down, we are that revolution).” Supporters joined him in chanting the song and enjoyed it. After this, Sanjay Singh also sang the Bhojpuri song “Aapan Bharat Basela Bhayia, Maati Wale Gaav Mein.”
Sanjay Singh said that Amit Shah stayed out of Gujarat for two years, activists said, wad exiled
During the collective fast at Jantar Mantar, there was also a remarkable coordination between party workers and leaders. During the speech, when Sanjay Singh said that Amit Shah stayed in jail for three months and stayed out of Gujarat for two years, the activists vehemently said that Amit Shah was exiled from Gujarat. He was banished from Gujarat for two years.
