'I was imprisoned for questioning dictatorship'; Kejriwal lashes out at Modi

NEW DELHI: Delhi Chief Minister and Aam Aadmi Party leader Arvind Kejriwal said that he was imprisoned for questioning the dictatorship of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. After being released from jail on bail granted by the Supreme Court, Kejriwal attacked the BJP in a press conference and rally.

"I tried to stop the mission of one nation one leader. The BJP is putting opposition leaders behind bars for that mission. Aam Aadmi ministers, Hemant Soren and Trinamool ministers are in jail. If Modi wins, all opposition leaders including Mamata Banerjee, MK Stalin, Tejashwi Yadav, Pinarayi Vijayan and Uddhav Thackeray will go to jail.

"These people ask the INDIA alliance who will be their Prime Minister. I ask BJP who will be your Prime Minister? PM Modi is turning 75, on 17th September. He made a rule that leaders in the party would retire after 75 years...LK Advani, Murli Manohar Joshi, Sumitra Mahajan, and Yashwant Sinha were retired and now PM Modi is going to retire on 17th September...," CM Kejriwal added.

"If their government is formed, they will first dispose of Yogi Adityanath and then make Amit Shah the Prime Minister of the country. PM Modi is asking for votes for Amit Shah. Will Amit Shah fulfil Modi's guarantee?...," he added.

"I'm begging 140 crore people to save the country from the dictator. During the 21-day bail period, I will travel all across the counrty. Every drop of my blood is for the country. The NDA will face a setback in the states of Haryana, Rajasthan, Bihar, UP, Delhi, Karnataka, West Bengal and Jharkhand. It will only get 220-230 seats. The 'INDIA' alliance will form the government," Kejriwal said.

"No other party in 75 years has been persecuted like Aam Aadmi Party. Four top leaders have been jailed for destroying a small party that rules two states. Modi knows that AAP is the future party of the country," he added.
