Sunita Kejriwal Accuses BJP of Dictatorship; BJP Compares Her To 'Rabri Devi In Making'

The Delhi High Court extended the custody of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal by the Enforcement Directorate on April 1st. This led to his wife Sunita Kejriwal attacking the BJP-led central government, alleging that they intend to keep the Delhi Chief Minister in jail due to the upcoming Lok Sabha elections. Hardeep Singh Puri, the Union Minister of the BJP, in response, compared Sunita Kejriwal to Rabri Devi, the wife of Lalu Yadav. Rabri Devi became the Prime Minister of Bihar when her husband, Lalu Yadav, was imprisoned due to a corruption case.

Arvind Kejriwal sent to Tihar till 15th April. ????

Hardeep Singh Puri also took a dig at Arvind Kejriwal, suggesting that he could hold cabinet meetings in jail, citing that two Aam Aadmi Party leaders, Manish Sisodia and Sanjay Singh, are already incarcerated. Arvind Kejriwal's custody by the Enforcement Directorate was extended until April 15th. Other BJP leaders also weighed in on the matter. Bansuri Swaraj stated that the court believes Kejriwal should remain behind bars, while Sudhanshu Trivedi remarked that Lalu Yadav has become Kejriwal's mentor.
