Victory bells rang for AAP as Arvind Kejriwal and Manish Sisodia emerged unscathed from the Delhi liquor policy controversy, with the court dismissing all allegations on Thursday.
The emotional peak came when Kejriwal, tears streaming down his face, was consoled by Sisodia’s embrace. It was a poignant end to probes that led to arrests, resignations, and national headlines.
‘The court affirmed our honesty – mine, Sisodia’s, and AAP’s,’ Kejriwal stated firmly. ‘BJP’s scam-mongering for years crumbled today; every accused is acquitted.’
He unleashed on the BJP: ‘This was Modi’s and Shah’s master plot to eliminate AAP rivals. They jailed our top leaders in a sham case, ignoring India’s crises: inflation eating savings, youth without jobs, roads in ruins, air turning toxic.’
Kejriwal expressed profound gratitude to the judiciary: ‘We trusted the system, and truth prevailed. God stood by us.’ Sunita Kejriwal posted on X about truth’s eternal power beyond any authority.
The ruling hands AAP a powerful weapon against ‘political witch-hunts.’ Kejriwal challenged adversaries: ‘Earn power by fixing problems, not filing false cases.’ Supporters’ euphoria signals a comeback story in Delhi politics.
