A day after she read a message from her jailed husband and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, the Bharatiya Janata Party has intensified attacks against Sunita Kejriwal and they said “Delhi has no sympathy for her”. The attack comes as rumours are abuzz that Sunita might step into her husband’s shoes.
BJP MP Manoj Tiwari said on Saturday, “Sunita Kejriwal gave an interview yesterday by sitting on the CM's chair, she too didn't feel any shame.”
Coming down heavily on Sunita, Tiwari said, “Where were you when he swore on your kids to never ally with other parties and broke that promise? Where were you when he promised he would not take a bungalow and government vehicles and eventually make a palace for himself? You entered the same house where bundles of money were being brought in. People of Delhi have no sympathy with you or Arvind Kejriwal now,” ANI reported.
Speaking from the same setting her husband uses—with a national flag, pictures of Bhagat Singh and B.R. Ambedkar in the background—Sunita, reading a message from Arvind Kejriwal said, “Your son and brother Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal has sent a message from the jail.” She added, “I appeal to them to trust their brother, their son. There is no jail that can keep him behind bars for long.” In his message, the Delhi chief minister said he would come out of prison soon and fulfil promises.
Sunita met her husband at the ED office where he was lodged under custody on Saturday evening. She was seen holding papers as she entered the ED office with some staff.
The Enforcement Directorate arrested Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Thursday in a money laundering case registered in connection with the now scrapped Delhi liquor policy case. Kejriwal has been remanded to six days of ED custody.
