Jailed Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s wife Sunita Kejriwal on Sunday accused the BJP-led central government of denying insulin to her diabetic husband, and alleged that it wants to kill him.
She asserted that the opposition INDIA bloc will fight against the “dictatorship” of the BJP and win. “They want to kill my husband Arvind Kejriwal. His food is under camera observation; he is denied insulin. My husband is a sugar patient who has been on insulin for the last 12 years; he needs 50 units of insulin daily,” Sunita said at the Ulgulan Nyay Rally in Ranchi.
She claimed that her husband was jailed for working for the people and no charges could be proved against him. “We will fight against dictatorship and win. The gates of jail will break and Arvind Kejriwal and Hemant Soren will come out,” she said.
Kejriwal was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on March 21 in a money laundering case linked to the now-scrapped Delhi excise policy. He is lodged in Tihar jail. “My husband was put behind bars. He fell prey to political conspiracy without being guilty. They say the probe is on. My husband is a patriot. He loves his nation and not the power,” she said.
Sunita claimed her husband is a “lion” who is not going to bow down before dictatorial forces. She said her husband has given a message from jail to people to vote out the corrupt BJP and has promised that AAP and people will build a great nation. “If the INDIA bloc comes to power, there will be free electricity for the poor round the clock,” she said, urging people to wage a war against dictatorship.
Sunita said tyranny won’t work and her husband cannot be kept behind bars for long. She said uninterrupted power supply, free electricity for the poor, government schools, Mohalla Clinics and multispeciality hospitals, minimum support price for farmers will be there once INDIA bloc wins the election.
Besides Sunita, jailed former chief minister Hemant Soren’s wife Kalpana Soren, JMM supremo Shibu Soren, Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge, National Conference head Farooq Abdullah took part in the public meeting. RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav, Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav, Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann and others also attended the rally in a mega show of strength for the opposition bloc.
