“They will send opposition leaders to jail and will finish them. Our ministers, Hemant Soren (former Jharkhand CM), ministers of Mamata Banerjee’s party (Trinamool Congress) are in jail…If they (BJP) win again, then Mamata Banerjee, MK Stalin, RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav, Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan, Uddhav Thackeray (UBT Chief) and other opposition leaders will all be in jail,” Kejriwal stated at a press conference.

“No other party has been harassed to this extent in 75 years. The Prime Minister is saying that he is fighting corruption but all the thieves are in his party,” he added.

They cannot defeat us in Delhi, so they fabricated false conspiracy to send me to jail: Kejriwal

In his statement, Kejriwal emphasized that the position of Chief Minister is not crucial to him. He explained why he didn’t resign from the CM post even after going to jail. He alleged that the BJP knew they couldn’t defeat him in Delhi, hence they devised a false conspiracy to imprison him, hoping he would resign and the government would collapse.

He asserted his refusal to resign, stating that if they imprison him against the will of the people, he would run the government from jail, indicating they won’t be trapped in their schemes.

Chief Minister Kejriwal said that Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren should have also run the government from jail instead of resigning. He accused the BJP of planning to imprison the Chief Ministers of the states they lose elections in, with the intention of toppling their governments.
