HC confirms Kejriwal's CBI arrest: BJP says verdict proves role of CM, AAP to approach Supreme Court

The Delhi BJP claims that the Supreme Court verdict implicates Kejriwal in a scam and demands his resignation. AAP will challenge the decision in the Supreme Court, citing technicalities.

After the Delhi High Court ruled on Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's plea challenging the legality of his arrest by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) in a case of alleged political irregularities of excise duty now scrapped from 2021 to 2022, the Delhi BJP said: judgment "clearly shows" that Kejriwal "played a major role" in the scam and was the mastermind. The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), meanwhile, said it will challenge the Supreme Court's decision in the Supreme Court. Delhi BJP president Virendra Sachdeva said, "The Supreme Court verdict has clarified the fact that Arvind Kejriwal and his party have looted Delhi, a fact that the BJP has repeated time and again."

“It is necessary for Arvind Kejriwal to resign from his post for the smooth functioning of the administration and to serve the people of Delhi. "The Delhi government is paralyzed and the entire administrative system is at a standstill, and Kejriwal's insistence on making the government from prison has resulted in zero governance in Delhi," Sachdeva said.

The AAP hit back, saying the BJP was trying to mislead the public.

In a statement, the AAP said: "The application to the Supreme Court challenged some technical aspects of the law, such as non-compliance with some legal provisions by the prosecution. The CBI case has not been decided on on the merits. We respectfully disagree with KL and will challenge it in the Supreme Court."

“The ED case was decided on its merits and it was concluded that there is no evidence against Arvind Kejriwal ji. "The special court and the Supreme Court have already granted bail," AAP said.
