Delhi Minister and AAP leader Atishi on Tuesday claimed that after arresting Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, now the Enforcement Directorate will arrest her, Saurabh Bharadwaj, Durgesh Pathak and Raghav Chadha.
At a press conference here, Atishi revealed that the offer, conveyed by a close associate of hers, came with a stark ultimatum: join BJP to safeguard her political career or face imminent arrest by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) within a month.
“I have been approached to join the BJP through a personal contact. I have been told that either I can join the BJP and save my political career or get arrested in the next one month. An individual very close to me told me that Prime Minister Narendra Modi made up his mind to put every AAP leader in jail. Starting with Satyendar Jain, Manish Sisodia, Sanjay Singh, now they have arrested Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal. But now they want to arrest another four top leaders -- me, Raghav Chadha, Durgesh Pathak and Saurabh Bharadwaj,” Atishi said. Despite these threats, Atishi affirmed AAP’s resilience and commitment to upholding the nation’s constitution under the Kejriwal.
Atishi mentioned that after the rally at Ramlila Maidan on Sunday, where lakhs of people came from Delhi and across the country, and after the AAP’s on the streets for the past 10 days, now the BJP feels that arresting four leaders of AAP wasn’t enough. In the upcoming time, the next four leaders will be arrested and put in jail.
