Kejriwal left the jail premises accompanied by his wife Sunita Kejriwal, his daughter Harshita and senior AAP leaders including Bhagwant Mann, Atishi, Saurabh Bhardwaj and Sandeep Pathak.
Standing through the sunroof of a car, Kejriwal then addressed AAP workers and supporters amid slogans of ‘Jail Ke Tale Toot Gaye, Kejriwalji Chhoot Gaye’.
Beginning with slogans of ‘Bharat Mata Ki Jai’, ‘Vande Mataram’ and ‘Inquilab Zindabad’, the Delhi CM thanked the people for their blessing and expressed gratitude to the judges of the Supreme Court for granting him bail.
“It feels good to be amongst you all. I had promised to come back soon and here I am…I have a request, we have to save the country from dictatorship. I am fighting against it with all might, but 140 crore people (of the country) will have to come together to fight against it,” he said.
KEJRIWAL’S FIRST ROADSHOW
Kejriwal will participate in a roadshow in South Delhi on May 11 along with his Punjab counterpart Bhagwant Mann. This will be Kejriwal’s first roadshow after walking out of Tihar Jail on Friday.
AAP has fielded Sahi Ram Pahalwan from the South Delhi parliamentary constituency. Under a seat-sharing arrangement between the Congress and the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), the former has fielded candidates from three Lok Sabha seats in Delhi while the latter is contesting from the remaining four.
