"Continue working for the society. Do not hate the people from BJP. They are all our brothers and sisters.There are several forces within and outside India that are weakening the country. There is no jail that can keep him behind bars for long. I will come out soon and keep my promises," the Delhi Chief Minister said in his message.

The Delhi CM also assured giving Rs 1000 per month to eligible women in Delhi.

"Whether inside or outside, every moment of my life is dedicated to serving the country. Every drop of my blood is dedicated to the country," Kejriwal added.

The ED told the court that all the conspiracy was carried out by Kejriwal.
