Kejriwal to host Janta ki Adalat at Jantar Mantar

  • | Saturday | 21st September, 2024

Former Delhi Chief Minister and AAP convener Arvind Kejriwal who recently stepped down from the post in the wake of corruption allegations, will be holding "Janta ki Adalat" at the Jantar Mantar in the national capital at 11 am on September 22. This announcement came just days after Kejriwal resigned from the chief ministers post following his release from jail on bail in the now-scrapped Delhi excise policy case. The Janta ki Adalat event is scheduled to take place at the very location where Anna Hazares anti-corruption movement had taken shape in 2011, which had brought Kejriwal into the national spotlight. Kejriwal has now chosen to address these allegations directly by returning to the same venue where his political journey began – Jantar Mantar. It was at Jantar Mantar in 2011 that Kejriwal, then an RTI activist, alongside Anna Hazare, had launched a nation-wide anti-corruption movement demanding the creation of a Jan Lokpal to curb corruption. The agitation had received massive public support from across the country and had played a significant role in laying the foundation for the AAPs emergence. Praising Arvind Kejriwal for foiling BJPs "conspiracies", Senior AAP leader Gopal Rai said all the office bearers will have to become like the party convenor. "Arvind Kejriwal foiled all the conspiracies of BJP in the last 2 years and now it is a face to face fight. If Arvind Kejriwal is made the Chief Minister with a huge majority, then the countrys respect will increase and the respect of the countrys respect will increase and the respect of the conspirators will dented. Therefore, all the office bearers will have to become Arvind Kejriwal. On September 22, Janta ki Adalat (a public court) will be held at Jantar Mantar, which will be addressed by Arvind Kejriwal," Gopal Rai said. While Kejriwal has not given any statement since his resignation on Tuesday, sources said he will take questions from the public about his decision at the event.Gopal Rai, who is also a Delhi minister, said the BJP fears AAPs new useful inventions in Delhi, based on which the party can form its government at the centre. "When all the tricks of the BJP failed, they put Arvind Kejriwal in jail. Because as long as he is out, the work in Delhi cannot be stopped. Even after this, the work in Delhi did not stop. BJP demanded resignation from Arvind Kejriwal and said that the government can not run from jail," affirmed the senior AAP leader. Kejriwal had earlier expressed his intention to seek a public mandate on the Delhi excise policy case. In two days, I will resign as chief minister. I will not sit on that [CMs] chair till the people announce their verdict.
