Lok Sabha Polls: Delhi CM Kejriwal Says, 'My PA Arrested, Raghav Chadha, Saurabh Bhardwaj, Atishi Next'

<p>Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, amidst a fervent campaign in West Delhi, unleashed a scathing attack on the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Saturday, forewarning of an impending crackdown on AAP leaders. Kejriwal asserted that the nation's resentment towards the BJP would culminate in their defeat on June 4, the day of Lok Sabha poll counting.</p> <p>In a series of street meetings across West Delhi, Kejriwal voiced his concerns, alleging that the BJP would resort to arresting prominent AAP figures such as Raghav Chaddha, Atishi, and Saurabh Bharadwaj to suppress opposition voices, news agency PTI reported. This assertion came on the heels of his aide, Bibhav Kumar's arrest in connection with an alleged assault on AAP MP Swati Maliwal.</p> <p>"Nukkad Sabhas" held in Najafgarh, Vikaspuri, Janakpuri, Hari Nagar, and Madipur served as platforms for Kejriwal to amplify his message following a press conference addressing Kumar's arrest. Braving the looming threat, Kejriwal announced his intention, along with AAP leaders, to visit the BJP headquarters on Sunday, challenging Prime Minister Narendra Modi to apprehend them collectively.</p> <p>"They (BJP) are after us...Today they arrested my PA, now they will arrest Raghav Chadha, Atishi, Saurabh Bharadwaj," Kejriwal remarked, urging the electorate to support AAP as a bulwark against his potential incarceration. "It's in your hands. If you want me to go to jail, choose the BJP; otherwise, choose the AAP."</p> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"> <p dir="ltr" lang="hi">ये आम आदमी की ताक़त से डरते हैं।<br /><br />ये कहते हैं कि हम राघव चड्ढा को भी गिरफ़्तारी करेंगे, आतिशी और सौरभ भारद्वाज को भी गिरफ़्तार करेंगे।<br /><br />मोदी जी प्रधानमंत्री हैं या थानेदार हैं?<br /><br />- CM <a href="https://twitter.com/ArvindKejriwal?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@ArvindKejriwal</a><a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/25_%E0%A4%AE%E0%A4%88_BJP_%E0%A4%97%E0%A4%88?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#25_मई_BJP_गई</a><a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/WestDelhiWithKejriwal?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#WestDelhiWithKejriwal</a> <a href="https://t.co/ZLKxaWi93K">pic.twitter.com/ZLKxaWi93K</a></p> &mdash; AAP (@AamAadmiParty) <a href="https://twitter.com/AamAadmiParty/status/1791851223362015464?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">May 18, 2024</a></blockquote> <p> <script src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" async="" charset="utf-8"></script> </p> <h3><span style="color: #ba372a;"><strong>Lok Sabha Poll Results Will Prove To BJP That Entire Country Is Angry With Its Dictatorial Rule: Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal</strong></span></h3> <p>Accompanying Kejriwal in these interactions was AAP's West Delhi Lok Sabha candidate, Mahabal Mishra.
