Earlier this month, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, while addressing Prime Minister Narendra Modi, targeted the central government and said: “Arrest us all.”
He said, “I would request the Prime Minister to put us all in jail together and use all the central agencies for our investigation instead of choosing us one by one. Use all your agencies against us all at once. Ask for an inquiry. Get it done once and for all. “
He had also alleged that his deputy Manish Sisodia was likely to be arrested the next day, saying that he had been informed by his sources.
However, BJP leader and Union Minister Smriti Irani termed Kejriwal’s claims as conspiracy theories.
Mamata Banerjee was among the opposition leaders who supported AAP after the arrest.
