As Manish Sisodia’s, the father of Delhi’s education revolution, fifth padyatra sweeps through Sultanpur Majra, the crowd erupts with chants of “Kejriwal will be back” and “We have worked, we will work.” School children thank Sisodia with roses for transforming their education, while residents eagerly await CM Arvind Kejriwal’s return, as Manish Sisodia’s highlights that the BJP is stalling Delhi’s progress by jailing him on false charges. Manish Sisodia reassures them that CM Arvind Kejriwal will soon be back to resume the city’s development at full speed. During this, a large number of senior AAP leaders and party leaders were present.
While directly interacting with the public after the padyatra in Sultanpur Majra, the senior AAP leader and former Deputy Chief Minister of Delhi, Manish Sisodia, said that my heart was filled with the love and blessings I received from you. Going among the people, I think that I must not have earned so much ‘punya’ (virtue). It is your grace that I am getting so much love. You people are giving me more love than I have given you. Thank you for that love and respect.
“They (BJP) caught your beloved Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, me, Sanjay Singh, Satyendar Jain and all the leaders of AAP and put them in jail. They did not put us in jail because we had done something wrong, but because Arvind Kejriwal was working. Arvind Kejriwal made schools and hospitals wonderful, made bus travel free for women, made electricity free. The BJP people do not know how to do all this. They only know how to stop work and fight,” he added.
The senior AAP leader continued, “BJP folks used to say that they will never let the electricity bill go to zero, they will not let schools be built, they will not let Mohalla Clinics be built, they will not let hospitals be built, they will not let buses to be run for free. But Arvind Kejriwal did it. Arvind Kejriwal fought for 8.5 years and got work done. To stop our work, they kept your Chief Minister in jail for about 4-5 months and me in jail for 17 months. These are all false allegations. BJP put Arvind Kejriwal, me, Sanjay Singh and Satyendar Jain in jail by making false allegations, so that the work of Delhiites stops.”
Manish Sisodia further said that now when I am going among the people, people are praising electricity bills, Mohalla Clinics, free bus travel and schools for children, but at the same time they are also telling that for the last one year there is a problem of sewer and drinking water. This problem is coming because the BJP has conspired and put Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal in jail. If Arvind Kejriwal was here, he would have fought and got your water and sewer problems solved. They kept me in jail for 17 months, what was my fault? I was only building schools for children. What was Arvind Kejriwal’s fault, why was he making the electricity bills zero? If he had to do corruption, then why would he make the electricity bills zero, he would have made the bills expensive and stolen the money from it.
Before this, Manish Sisodia said that I am going among the people and the public is very happy with this. The people of Delhi are understanding that BJP got scared of Arvind Kejriwal’s work, so they got Arvind Kejriwal jailed by making a fake case. So that the people of Delhi can be harassed. But this conspiracy of theirs is failing, because now very soon Arvind Kejriwal is also going to come out. And all the work that is stopped will be done quickly. Because the motive of BJP and its LG behind putting Arvind Kejriwal in jail was only to stop the work of the people of Delhi.
“I am getting a lot of love from the people of Delhi. Delhiites feel that their son has returned after 17 months. People are welcoming me like their family. They hope that their beloved Chief Minister will also come out soon. Arvind Kejriwal has fought and got a lot of work done in Delhi in the last 8 years. BJP had left no stone unturned to stop any of our work related to Mohalla Clinics, schools and electricity bills. Due to the love of the people of Delhi, I have come out, soon CM Arvind Kejriwal will come out of Arvind Kejriwal,” shared Manish Sisodia.
