NEW DELHI: Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Wednesday criticized and ridiculed the BJP over the arrest of former Delhi Deputy Chief Minister and Aam Aadmi Party leader Manish Sisodia. Kejriwal alleged that the BJP is trying to sabotage the activities of the Delhi government in the health and education sectors through Sisodia's arrest. Lashing out at the BJP, Kejriwal said that Manish Sisodia will be released tomorrow if he joined BJP today.

“Two people who brought laurels to India have been jailed by the PM. The excise policy was just an excuse, there was no scam. PM wanted to stop good work in Delhi. Manish Sisodia was arrested as he did good work in education. Satyendar Jain was arrested as he did good work in health.”

“If Manish Sisodia joins BJP today, won’t he be released tomorrow? All cases will be withdrawn. If Satyendar Jain joins BJP today, all cases will be withdrawn and he’d be released from jail tomorrow. The issue isn’t corruption but stopping work and sending CBI-ED after the opposition,” he added.
