New Delhi, 07 April 2024
Aam Aadmi Party supporters in 25 states of the country protested against the arrest of Delhi Chief Minister Shri Arvind Kejriwal by observing a mass fast under the “Bless Kejriwal” campaign.

INDIA alliance candidate from Kurukshetra, Dr. Sushil Gupta, who was on a mass fast in Haryana, said that the BJP is weakening all the constitutional institutions by taking over the entire system. AAP Gujarat State President Isudan Gadhvi said that the BJP is working like the British. Kejriwal has been put in jail to keep him away from the workers. In Assam, AAP’s state president Bhaben Choudhury said that the Modi government has hatched this conspiracy to stop the increasing popularity of the Aam Aadmi Party across the country and Kejriwal from election campaign.
Modi ji wants to end country’s democracy with help of lies and rhetoric: Dr Sushil Gupta
Under the “Bless Kejriwal” campaign, a state level mass fasting and blessing program was organized by the Aam Aadmi Party in Haryana on the banks of Brahma Sarovar in Kurukshetra. Aam Aadmi Party’s Kurukshetra Lok Sabha candidate under the INDIA alliance and State President Dr Sushil Gupta and State Senior Vice President Anurag Dhanda and members of the State Executive participated in the program. Dr. Sushil Gupta said, “Today the BJP is weakening all the constitutional institutions of the country. This is the first time in the political history of India that a sitting CM has been arrested during elections. The whole country is watching how the BJP has taken over the entire system. The arrest of Arvind Kejriwal makes it clear that the BJP is scared of him,” he said.
Dr Sushil Gupta said corrupt people are joining the BJP. Prime Minister Narendra Modi had called Naveen Jindal from the land of Kurukshetra a coal thief, he was included in the party and made a candidate from here. Naveen Jindal has become clean after being washed in the BJP’s washing machine. More than 10 cases are registered against Naveen Jindal. “Prime Minister Modi wants to destroy the country’s democracy with the help of lies and rhetorics. Now the people of the country have become alert and will oust the BJP from power to save democracy,” he said.
AAP Haryana’s senior state vice president Anurag Dhanda said that the entire country has united to bless Arvind Kejriwal. Aam Aadmi Party supporters and the public have observed a fast in 25 states of the country in protest against the unconstitutional arrest of Arvind Kejriwal. “There is anger among the people of the entire country against the dictatorship of BJP. INDIA alliance will fight the battle to save democracy and the Constitution together with the people. He said that BJP and Prime Minister Narendra Modi have a misconception that they will win the elections by keeping Kejriwal in jail. If they have courage, then they should face Kejriwal in the open field. This time in Haryana also the INDIA alliance will wipe out the BJP. The people of the country and the state will teach the BJP a lesson for putting Haryana’s son in jail. This time the public will give a befitting reply to the BJP,” he said.
BJP has falsely incarcerated Arvind Kejriwal, misusing PMLA: Isudan Gadhvi
AAP Gujarat State President, Bhai Isudan Gadhvi, stated that it is entirely wrong the way Delhi’s Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has been put in jail by misusing the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA). Similarly, just like the British had jailed Mahatma Gandhi by showing cowardice, today the BJP is also operating in the same manner. In opposition to this wrongful act of the BJP, AAP workers in various parts of Gujarat observed a fast on Sunday and prayed to God for Shri Arvind Kejriwal’s good health and strength. Not only this, AAP workers in their respective districts like Surendranagar, Bhavnagar, Junagadh, Surat, etc., observed fasts and conducted door-to-door campaigns without consuming any food grains, on the seats where the AAP is contesting elections, enlightening the public about the true nature of the BJP.
In 18 districts of Assam, including Guwahati, AAP workers observed a collective fast: Bhaben Choudhury
Similarly, in Assam, the AAP state president, Shri Bhaben Choudhury, said, “Today we organized a collective fast in Assam for the release of Delhi’s CM Shri Arvind Kejriwal and for his good health. AAP workers in 18 districts of Assam, including Guwahati, observed a collective fast. The way the Modi government has conspired and put Delhi’s CM Shri Arvind Kejriwal behind bars is extremely concerning for the country’s democracy and constitution. It has never happened in history that an elected Chief Minister has been put behind bars. The Modi government has plotted this conspiracy to hinder the increasing success of the AAP nationwide, and to keep Delhi’s Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal away from election campaigning. The entire people of Assam and the country stand with Shri Arvind Kejriwal. The people of Assam will avenge this conspiracy by defeating the BJP in this Lok Sabha election. Shri Arvind Kejriwal will come out of jail very soon, and we will win.”
