New Delhi: In a spirited address at the Delhi Assembly, former Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal expressed his sentiments regarding his recent challenges and the state of governance in Delhi. As the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) National Convenor, he highlighted the resilience of his party despite facing adversity.

Acknowledging opposition sentiments

Kejriwal began his speech with a nod to his opposition colleagues, stating, "My colleagues in the opposition must be sad to see Manish Sisodia and me here." This remark underscored the political tensions present in the Assembly, where Sisodia, a key member of AAP, has also faced legal challenges. 

Kejriwal's message to supporters

He continued by acknowledging the formidable resources available to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, saying, "I always say PM Modi is very powerful and has a lot of resources." However, he emphasized a crucial distinction: "But Modi is not God; the God who is there is with us." This statement reflects Kejriwal's belief in divine support amid political struggles, reinforcing his commitment to his constituents.

Gratitude to the Supreme Court

In a moment of gratitude, Kejriwal thanked the Supreme Court for its role in his ongoing legal battles. He remarked, "Today, I went for a road inspection with the CM. Delhi University's roads used to be great before I went to jail." His emphasis on infrastructure shows his ongoing dedication to improving public services.

Addressing road conditions

Kejriwal's concerns extended to the condition of roads in Delhi, particularly in the vicinity of Delhi University. He stated, "I have asked her to pass an order to repair the roads there." This proactive approach aims to address infrastructure issues that directly impact residents' daily lives.

Kejriwal's straight question to BJP leader

Kejriwal revealed a striking conversation he had with a BJP leader, shedding light on the complex dynamics between the two parties. Kejriwal shared that during their meeting, which took place just 3-4 days prior, he posed a straightforward question to the BJP leader: "What's the point of sending me to jail?" The leader's response was quite telling, admitting that their efforts had effectively derailed the entire Delhi Government. This candid exchange offers a glimpse into the intense political rivalries at play in the nation's capital. Interestingly, this conversation comes on the heels of Kejriwal's meeting with veteran BJP leader LK Advani, which took place after a previously scheduled meeting was called off.
