The leaders of INDIA Bloc, including the wives of jailed Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and former Jharkhand CM Hemant Soren allege that the BJP-led Centre is ruling the nation with the sole agenda to topple non-BJP State Governments and put them behind bars by faking charges.

While Kejriwal’s wife Sunita accused the Central Government of denying insulin to her husband alleging that it wants to kill him, Hemants wife Kalpana alleged the BJP was trying to topple Governments in Opposition-ruled States.

Both spoke at the INDIA Bloc ‘Ulgulan Nyay’ rally, which was attended by leaders of 28 parties.

Addressing the joint rally in Ranchi as part of campaign for the Lok Sabha polls, Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge on hit out at the BJP for trying to “terrorise” Hemant Soren, and asserted that the JMM leader preferred going to jail rather than parting ways with the INDIA bloc.

He was addressing the Opposition INDIA Bloc’s ‘Ulgulan Nyay’ rally at Prabhat Tara ground in Ranchi, which was attended by leaders of the anti-BJP alliance.

Kharge also attacked Prime Minister Narendra Modi, alleging that he insulted President Droupadi Murmu and the tribal community by not inviting her to Ram temple consecration and inauguration of the Parliament building.

Addressing the rally, Sunita asserted that the opposition INDIA bloc will fight against the “dictatorship” of the BJP and win.

“They want to kill my husband Arvind Kejriwal. His food is under camera observation; he is denied insulin. My husband is a sugar patient who has been on insulin for 12 years; he needs 50 units of insulin daily,” Sunita said at the Ulgulan Nyay Rally in Ranchi.

“We will fight against dictatorship and win. The gates of jail will break and Arvind Kejriwal and Hemant Soren will come out,” she said.

Kejriwal was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on March 21 in a money laundering case linked to the now-scrapped Delhi excise policy. He is lodged in Tihar jail.  The ED also arrested Soren on the night of January 31 in a money laundering case linked to an alleged land fraud.

Kalpana also read out a message from jail by her husband Hemant Soren. “Arvind Kejriwal and my husband Hemant Soren were jailed just before the elections by forces that were hatching conspiracies against their governments,” she alleged.

Reading out her husband’s message, she said, “Central agencies such as the ED and CBI are being misused to suppress the opposition’s voice but BJP and such forces will be driven out from Jharkhand.”

Urging the people to show the “exit doors” to the BJP, she claimed that if the party wins the ongoing elections it would be a “big threat” to tribals.

Kalpana Soren is likely to contest the bypoll to the Gandey Assembly seat, which is slated for May 20.
