Arvind Kejriwal Granted Bail: AAP Celebrates ‘Satyamev Jayate’, BJP Counters

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal was granted bail by the Rouse Avenue Court on Tuesday in connection with the alleged irregularities in the Delhi Excise Policy case. The decision sparked jubilant celebrations within the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), while the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) countered with strong criticism.

AAP’s Triumphant Response:

The AAP erupted in celebrations upon hearing the court’s verdict, with party leaders and supporters taking to social media to express their relief and joy. “Satyamev Jayate,” (Truth Alone Triumphs) declared AAP leader Sanjay Singh, reflecting the party’s belief in Kejriwal’s innocence. The party hailed the bail as a victory for justice and democracy.

BJP’s Sharp Rebuke:

The BJP, on the other hand, remained steadfast in its accusations against Kejriwal. “The law will take its own course,” said BJP spokesperson Gaurav Bhatia, emphasizing that the bail did not equate to innocence. The BJP reiterated its stance that the allegations against Kejriwal were serious and demanded a thorough investigation.

The Excise Policy Case:

The case revolves around alleged irregularities in the implementation of Delhi’s Excise Policy 2021-22. The CBI had accused Kejriwal and other AAP leaders of corruption and conspiracy, claiming they facilitated the policy to benefit certain liquor businesses. The CBI’s investigation is ongoing.

Political Implications:

The bail order comes at a crucial juncture in the Delhi political scene. With the upcoming assembly elections in 2024, the case has added fuel to the already heated rivalry between the AAP and BJP. The bail is likely to boost the morale of AAP supporters, while the BJP will likely continue its aggressive campaign against Kejriwal.

Looking Ahead:

The legal battle is far from over. The CBI’s investigation is ongoing, and the court will likely continue to hear arguments on the case. The bail order is a temporary victory for Kejriwal, but the political implications and legal proceedings are likely to remain in focus for the foreseeable future.
