The AAP on Friday launched the 'Mai Bhi Kejriwal' signature campaign to get people's feedback on whether Arvind Kejriwal should resign as Delhi chief minister if he is arrested under a "conspiracy by the BJP". "The 'Main Bhi Kejriwal' signature campaign has been launched today. Under it, people's opinion is being taken on the way AAP leaders are being arrested, and if Arvind Kejriwal is arrested, whether he should resign or continue to run the government from jail," party leader Gopal Rai told reporters.
"We conducted a door-to-door campaign and asked people whether if there was an arrest, Kejriwal should resign or run the government from jail. People firmly said that Kejriwal has done a lot of work for the public.
Therefore, he should not resign but run the government from jail. People also said that all these arrests are happening under one agendam" Rai said. The Aam Aadmi Party's Delhi state convener also interacted with locals during the campaign launched from East Delhi's Laxmi Nagar assembly constituency.
Delhi BJP president hit back at the campaign saying the campaign was confined to only AAP workers. "The door to door campaign too has found no takers with common people asking AAP workers posing as "Mein Bhi Kejriwal" as to "Kejriwal Ne Bharstachar Kyun Kiya" why Kejriwal did corruption," he said.
"From December 1 to 20, they will conduct a door-to-door campaign at all 2600 polling stations, and from December 21 to 24, they will hold public meetings in all 250 wards. In the end, whatever opinion the public has, they will hand it over to Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal," he said.
"Our job is to awaken the public. The people have the opportunity to answer this in the Lok Sabha elections," he said
"There is immense anger among the people regarding the arrest conspiracy by the BJP against Arvind Kejriwal ji. People are asking why does the BJP want to arrest a chief minister who has done so much good work for Delhi," Rai said in a post on X.
Earlier this month, the Enforcement Directorate had summoned Kejriwal for questioning in a money laundering case linked to the alleged Delhi excise policy scam. The chief minister did not appear before the central agency, claiming that its summons was "illegal and politically motivated". Under the campaign, AAP volunteers will take signatures of people on pamphlets by visiting all 2,600 polling station areas in the city as well as their opinion.
