The wife of jailed Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal, Sunita Kejriwal, read out a letter from him that made six guarantees to the people of the country, including full statehood for the people of the Capital. Kejriwal was arrested on March 21 by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in connection with the probe related to the Delhi excise policy case.

In her first speech at a political rally, Sunita Kejriwal said that Kejriwal is fighting for the motherland. “Your Arvind Kejriwal is a lion, they will not be able to keep him in jail for long. He lives in the hearts of crores of people because of the bravery and courage with which he is fighting for the country… I feel that in the freedom struggle, he was a freedom fighter who was martyred while fighting for the country,”  added.

His letter from ED custody said that if people chose the Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance (INDIA) bloc in the upcoming elections, six guarantees will be fulfilled — nationwide 24-hour electricity supply and no power cuts, free electricity for the poor across the country, good quality government schools in every village and locality, mohalla clinic in every locality, minimum support price (MSP) to be paid to farmers as per Swaminathan committee report and full statehood for Delhi.
