New Delhi: Delhi Chief Minister and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) convenor Arvind Kejriwal’s wife, Sunita Kejriwal, will spearhead the party’s Lok Sabha campaign in the national capital and other states. The party’s campaign will commence with her inaugural roadshow on Saturday, advocating for AAP’s East Delhi candidate, Kuldeep Kumar.
During a press conference on Friday, AAP leader Atishi announced that Sunita Kejriwal will rally for support and votes for the party while her husband remains in judicial custody.
Today morning, AAP wrote on X, “Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s wife Sunita Kejriwal will hold Jail ka Jawab roadshow at Block 20, Gurudwara Kalyanpuri, evening 4PM”.
“In protest against the arrest of Arvind Kejriwal, his wife Sunita Kejriwal will campaign to seek blessings for him and to seek votes for AAP candidates. She will seek blessings for him from the people of Delhi, Punjab, Gujarat and Haryana,” she said.
Sunita, a retired IRS officer, is assuming a more prominent role within the party to fortify AAP’s campaign efforts, which have been impacted by Kejriwal’s arrest by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on money laundering charges.
Kejriwal has been confined in Tihar Jail since April 1. He was arrested on March 21 in connection with a case related to the now-scrapped Delhi excise policy. He is slated to remain in judicial custody till May 7.
