Arvind Kejriwal had earlier received a summons from the AAP, referencing a “political conspiracy.” Called a “backup” plan, the party intended to prevent him from running for office in the Lok Sabha elections.
“The nature of the Delhi Jal Board (DJB) case is unknown to everyone. According to Delhi minister Atishi, this appears to be a contingency plan to arrest Kejriwal in any case and prevent him from running for office in the Lok Sabha elections “on Sunday, during a press conference.
Inquiries into Arvind Kejriwal are also ongoing in the money laundering issue involving the Delhi excise policy. In that case, he has already rejected eight summonses, calling them “illegitimate.”. In that case, ED has called him to appear for questioning on March 21.
