Your Kejriwal is a lion: Sunita
Before reading out the message, she launched her own tirade against Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
"Our Prime Minister Narendra Modi put my husband in jail, did he do the right thing? Do you believe that Kejriwal Ji is a true patriot and honest person? These BJP people are saying that Kejriwal ji is in jail, he should resign. Should he resign?"
"Your Kejriwal is a lion, they will not be able to keep him in jail for long," she said.
Guarantees
Guarantees will be fulfilled in the next 5 years: Kejriwal
The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) chief said that these promises will be fulfilled in the next five years.
Leaders of the INDIA bloc have assembled at Ramlila Maidan in a display of solidarity following the arrest of Kejriwal in a money laundering case linked to the Delhi excise policy scam.
Kalpana Soren, the wife of former Jharkhand CM Hemant Soren, who was also arrested by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in connection with a money laundering case, joined the gathering.
