Sunita Kejriwal, the wife of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, has been granted permission to visit her husband in Tihar jail. Her visit is scheduled for today, as confirmed by the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on April 29. The meeting will also be attended by Delhi cabinet minister Atishi.
Earlier, the AAP had claimed that permission for the meeting had not been provided, but jail officials have denied this claim. Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann is also expected to visit Kejriwal on April 30.
On April 28, Sunita Kejriwal held a roadshow in West Delhi and called Delhi CM “sher (Lion)”. She said that he was jailed because he had built schools, provided free electricity and opened Mohalla Clinics in the national capital.
“What is the fault of Arvind Kejriwal? His fault is he gave free electricity, earlier there used to be a lot of power cuts but now we get electricity 24 hours, schools are being made for your students, Mohalla clinics were made and now every month, women will be given 1000. Arvind Kejriwal is a “Sher” (lion),” ANI quoted her as saying.
This was Sunita Kejriwal’s second roadshow supporting the AAP’s Lok Sabha candidate, Mahabal Mishra, as part of the party’s ongoing campaign for the Lok Sabha elections.
