Arvind Kejriwal's wife accuses BJP of 'Dictatorship'; BJP compares her to 'Rabri Devi'

After a Delhi court extended Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's Enforcement Directorate custody, his wife, Sunita Kejriwal, criticized the BJP-led central government, asserting that they aim to keep Kejriwal jailed during the Lok Sabha elections, labeling it as "dictatorship." Meanwhile, BJP leader Hardeep Singh Puri compared Sunita Kejriwal to Rabri Devi, suggesting her ascent in politics akin to Lalu Yadav's wife, and taunted Arvind Kejriwal's ability to conduct cabinet meetings from jail due to AAP leaders' incarcerations. BJP leaders Bansuri Swaraj and Sudhanshu Trivedi further criticized Kejriwal's governance and political alliances, questioning his leadership and comparing him to Lalu Prasad Yadav.

Amidst legal proceedings, the court has directed Tihar Jail authorities to accommodate Arvind Kejriwal's medical needs, religious items, and prescribed diet. Kejriwal's arrest, linked to a liquor policy case, has stirred controversy, with AAP alleging political motives to hinder his election campaign, while BJP demands his resignation. Despite his confinement, Kejriwal's actions from jail and his wife's public messages continue to fuel political debate.
