Arvind Kejriwal Criticizes BJP in Amritsar: Calls for AAP Unity and Victory in Punjab 

During a spirited address to party workers in Amritsar, Delhi Chief Minister and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) convener Arvind Kejriwal launched a strong critique against the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). He accused the BJP of arresting him in a bid to dismantle his party, but he declared that this tactic had backfired and instead strengthened AAP’s unity.

Kejriwal recounted his arrest, stating, “They arrested me thinking that our party would break, but nothing happened, and we got even more united.” He further revealed that during his imprisonment, he was denied his essential medications, particularly insulin for his diabetes. “I was not provided with an insulin dose despite requests. I don’t know about their intentions, but it has happened in the past that opposition leaders have been physically harmed across the world in similar ways.”

Highlighting the treatment he received while in jail, Kejriwal pointed out that he was allowed only limited visitation rights. “There is a provision that allows two people to meet inside the jail. Despite a letter from Punjab CM Mann, they did not allow it. He used to talk to me from outside the jail cell,” he explained. Kejriwal also mentioned that his jail cell was constantly monitored by two CCTV cameras, with 13 officers having access to the footage. He claimed that this footage was also sent to the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO).

Expressing his ambitions for AAP in the upcoming elections, Kejriwal urged his party workers to strive for a clean sweep in Punjab. “10-12 days are left for polls. You have to make us win all the 13 seats in Punjab. I have to surrender again on 2nd June. On 4th June, when I will see the results of Lok Sabha elections, I will be really happy to see AAP winning all 13 seats in Punjab,” he passionately appealed.

Kejriwal didn’t hold back in his criticism of the BJP’s governance. He accused the ruling party of autocratic behavior, saying, “I don’t accept BJP’s dictatorship in the country. BJP has put everyone in jail and frozen the bank accounts of the Congress leaders. We have to struggle against this.”

His speech in Amritsar underscored a message of resilience and defiance, rallying his supporters to unite against what he described as BJP’s oppressive tactics. Kejriwal emphasized the need for solidarity and persistent efforts to challenge the BJP’s dominance and protect democratic values.

Kejriwal’s allegations and fervent speech reflect the intense political battle in Punjab, as AAP aims to gain a significant foothold in the state. He conveyed a narrative of resistance and perseverance, encouraging his party members to remain steadfast and committed to their cause despite the adversities they face.

This call to action in Punjab is part of AAP’s broader strategy to expand its influence beyond Delhi, leveraging Kejriwal’s leadership and the party’s grassroots support. Kejriwal’s speech resonated with themes of justice, democratic integrity, and the fight against political oppression, aiming to galvanize his base ahead of the crucial elections.

By focusing on personal experiences of alleged mistreatment and systemic issues within the political landscape, Kejriwal sought to humanize his campaign and draw attention to what he perceives as the larger struggles faced by opposition parties in India. His address served both as a rallying cry for AAP workers and a pointed critique of the current political climate under BJP rule.

The coming days leading up to the elections will be pivotal for AAP, as they mobilize efforts to secure electoral victories and challenge the status quo. Kejriwal’s impassioned plea in Amritsar underscores the high stakes and the fervent spirit driving AAP’s campaign in Punjab.
