AAP MP Raghav Chadha also welcomed the Supreme Court’s decision to grant bail to Kejriwal .
“I thank the Supreme Court… He (Arvind Kejriwal) is not just a name, but a brand of honest politics. He had to go to jail for 6 months because of his increasing popularity… AAP will get more strength… I welcome the decision… Welcome Back Arvind Kejriwal… We will make the further strategy after reading the final order of the Supreme Court to understand the conditions under which the bail has been given… There is a wave of joy in Delhi and the country… Arvind Kejriwal will lead the campaign for the AAP in the upcoming Haryana elections now,” he said.
Former Deputy Chief Minister of Delhi and AAP leader Manish Sisodia also welcomed the decision, saying once again the truth has won in the fight against lies and conspiracies.
“It has been proven once again that there is no other politician as true, honest and patriot like Arvind Kejriwal. BJP hatched thousands of conspiracy to arrest him. An honest man who was working to improve the lives of people was jailed, there is no greater sin than this in the history of democracy. Today, we salute and thank the Supreme Court, Constitution and Babasaheb. This is not a victory of truth, lies have also been exposed. Supreme Court observed that arrest by CBI was planned to stop his release in the ED case…People prayed for him and their prayers have been answered today, I thank them and the Almighty,” he said.
Congress leader and RS MP Pramod Tiwari also welcomed the bail order for the Delhi CM.
“First Jharkhand CM Hemant Soren got the bail and now it is Arvind Kejriwal… The Supreme Court found this case to be bailable… The central government is misusing central agencies as the frontal organisations against the Opposition parties. There is an environment of fear in the country… This is a unanimous decision of the Supreme Court and we welcome it,” he said.
