Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal's wife Sunita Kejriwal and former Jharkhand CM Hemant Soren's wife Kalpana Soren during I.N.D.I.A. bloc's 'Loktantra Bachao Rally'.
Jailed Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s wife Sunita Kejriwal on Sunday delivered a fiery speech from the stage at the INDIA bloc’s massive rally and listed Kejriwal’s six guarantees to voters. She also slammed the BJP government over allegedly targeting the opposition leaders with central agencies ahead of the Lok Sabha Elections.
In one of her first political speeches, Sunita Kejriwal while reading out her husband’s message said, “If you allow the INDIA bloc, we will build a great nation. Mother India is in pain. She feels pained when people do not get an uninterrupted power supply or when someone dies without getting treatment.”
Sunita also asked people whether Kejriwal should resign as Chief Minister. “The BJP is demanding the resignation of Chief Minister Kejriwal. Should he resign? Is his arrest justified? He is a ‘sher’ (lion). They won’t be able to keep him behind bars for long,” she said.
The AAP supremo’s wife then went on to list six guarantees that Arvind Kejriwal promised his voters in a letter he wrote in jail.
In a show of opposition unity ahead of the Lok Sabha polls, INDIA bloc leaders came together at the ‘Loktantra Bachao’ rally at the Ramlila ground here in the backdrop of Kejriwal’s arrest.
Congress leaders Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, RJD’s Tejashwi Yadav, NCP (Sharadchandra Pawar) leader Sharad Pawar, Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray, Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav, CPI(M) general secretary Sitaram Yechury, CPI general secretary D Raja, PDP chief Mehbooba Mufti, NC’s Farooq Abdullah and Jharkhand Chief Minister Champai Soren were among those present.
