AAP leader's 'Delhi to be run from jail' warning amid Arvind Kejriwal arrest fear

The Delhi government and the Aam Aadmi Party will be run from jail if Arvind Kejriwal is arrested by the Enforcement Directorate on November 2, AAP leader Saurabh Bharadwaj said on Wednesday. The probe agency has summoned the AAP supremo tomorrow at 11 am, in connection with a money laundering probe linked to the alleged Delhi excise policy scam.

AAP on Tuesday expressed apprehensions that Kejriwal might be arrested by the Enforcement Directorate on Thursday. Manish Sisodia and Sanjay Singh, the other two senior-most AAP leaders, are already in jail on similar charges.

Asked about the party's strategy if Kejriwal went to jail, Bhardwaj said the senior leaders of the party would decide the future course of action.

"It would be decided by the senior leaders of the party. But if the whole party is in jail, then the government and the party would run from jail. And this is what the BJP wants is that everyone should be in jail... They want free education, free electricity, free water, free pilgrimage, hospitals, and mohalla clinics to stop but Arvind Kejriwal will not let this happen," he told ANI.
