New Delhi: Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal is in ED custody till March 28, although the Aam Aadmi Party has claimed that Kejriwal will run the government even while in jail. Now reacting on this issue, Delhi Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena has said that the government will not run from jail. I want to assure the citizens of Delhi that the Delhi government will not run from jail. Earlier, Minister Atishi had claimed that Kejriwal had ordered to do government work through a letter from ED custody. At that time the Lieutenant Governor had given this statement. Therefore, the dispute has increased between the Aam Aadmi Party and the Lieutenant Governor on the issue of running the government in Delhi.
On the other hand, Kejriwal appealed in Delhi High Court against the arrest of ED. During the hearing on Wednesday, Kejriwal appealed to the High Court to release me and said that the arrest has nothing to do with getting any information, only to neutralize me and my party. At present the High Court has refused to give any interim order. Also sought reply from ED by April 2. Therefore, now further hearing will be held on 3rd April.
Arvind Kejriwal's wife Sunita Kejriwal said that on March 28, my husband Kejriwal will reveal the truth of all the allegations. The truth of the liquor policy matter will be brought out in the court. Financial information will also be disclosed. Arvind Kejriwal has sent another message from jail to the people of Delhi, this message was read by his wife and said that the Chief Minister has said that my body is in jail but my soul is among the people. ED's custody is ending on 28th. Now CBI is preparing to arrest Kejriwal. There are reports that CBI will seek Kejriwal's custody. After the ED's custody period is over, CBI will file an application in the court for Kejriwal's custody. Due to which the problems of the Chief Minister of Delhi may increase further.
Meanwhile, Delhi Lieutenant Governor V.K. Saxena was asked whether the Delhi government will now run from jail? In response, he said that I want to assure the citizens of the country that the Delhi government will not run from jail. There have been reports that if CBI takes Kejriwal into custody then it may be difficult to run the government from jail. In such a situation, there have been reports that Delhi Finance Minister Atishi or Kejriwal's wife Sunita can take over the post of Chief Minister of Delhi. However, the picture regarding this may become clear in a day or two. If Kejriwal does not step down from the post of Chief Minister and runs the government from jail for a long time, then the Lieutenant Governor can recommend to President Draupadi Murmu to impose President's rule in the state. The Lieutenant Governor can say in his recommendation that the Delhi administration under the leadership of Kejriwal cannot run away from its responsibilities. They may point to the failure of the constitutional machinery in the state. In such a situation, President's rule may be imposed in Delhi.
