Conspiracy to keep me in jail till Delhi elections fail, says Manish Sisodia

Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Manish Sisodia on Saturday met people from his Patparganj constituency as part of his ‘Padyatra’ campaign. He accused the BJP of a ‘conspiracy’ to keep him prisoner till the Delhi state assembly elections fail, thanks to the blessings of Lord Hanuman.

The former Delhi Deputy Chief Minister, without naming any party leaders, said central government agencies have registered such cases against him and (Arvind) Kejriwal targeting terrorists and drug mafia.

“I came to my brothers and sisters of Patparganj after 17 months. They (BJP) somehow tried to keep me in jail in fake cases till the Delhi Assembly elections. But with the blessings of Bajrangbali and Ram ji, their conspiracies failed,” Sisodia said, addressing a gathering of people.

He said AAP coordinator and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal will also be released from jail.

People greeted Sisodia with garlands and some women also tied ‘rakhi’ to him. He asked about their well-being and told them to contact him if they faced any problems.

Slogans like “Manish Sisodia aa gaye, Kejriwal ji ayenge” (Manish Sisodia released, Kejriwal will also be released) were raised by AAP workers when Sisodia met people in West Vinod Nagar area of ​​Patparganj.

Sisodia’s ‘Padyatra’ campaign ahead of the February 2025 Assembly elections was launched from Greater Kailash constituency on Friday. The senior AAP leader will visit all 70 Assembly constituencies in Delhi during the campaign.

He interacted with local shopkeepers and rickshaw pullers and took their feedback as he walked through the streets, greeted by people who hugged him and took selfies.

There were also many children present carrying his posters.
