Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has been granted interim bail in the alleged liquor scam. The relief which was not received from the High Court was given to the AAP President by the Supreme Court during the election season. When it comes to a few days, now the question is that how much will Aam Aadmi Party benefit from Kejriwal's exit and what impact will Azad Kejriwal have on BJP's strategy? What are the implications of this for Congress?
What is the benefit to Aam Aadmi Party?
If we look at Aam Aadmi Party, we will see many veteran leaders, Sanjay Singh's popularity is also no less. But still, if you look at the Aam Aadmi Party, you will see everything revolving around Arvind Kejriwal. Due to this, CM Kejriwal was arrested in the alleged liquor policy scam and it affected the campaign of Aam Aadmi Party. Aam Aadmi Party was seen only as an exercise to generate sympathy and favor Sunita Kejriwal.
But now that Arvind Kejriwal has come out for campaigning, Aam Aadmi Party has got relief. A different enthusiasm is being seen among the party workers. When Kejriwal got bail on Friday night, the way AAP workers celebrated Diwali and the way they protested, it shows that the real elections have started for this political party.
At the same time, if we talk about Kejriwal, his personality cannot be underestimated at all. He knows very well how to raise the issue, how to create an atmosphere. Therefore, coming forward just before the elections can also bring a big change at the ground level. Till now, Kejriwal, the prisoner sitting in the jail, was trying to garner sympathy. But now independent Kejriwal will try to garner sympathy by narrating his story.
Kejriwal's party also knows that the impact of Arvind Kejriwal will not be limited to Delhi only, but with his coming out, the impact can be seen till Punjab Haryana. Aam Aadmi is contesting elections on four seats in Delhi. Whereas 12 seats in Punjab and one seat in Haryana are in the fray. Now Kejriwal can try to create an atmosphere through his campaign.
What is the benefit to BJP?
In this way, Kejriwal's exit is not only a relief news for the Aam Aadmi Party, but if the political conclusions are understood, there is also a hidden benefit for the BJP here. Actually, some surveys had come out in which it was said that due to Kejriwal being in jail, his party is getting sympathy and BJP may have to suffer loss on some seats. If Kejriwal had not come forward, it would have been impossible for BJP to fight against that narrative. The same issue was raised during the campaign that the CM of Delhi was put in jail.
But now that Kejriwal is out, at least BJP cannot be accused of keeping the CM in jail during the election season. Apart from this, if Kejriwal is out on bail then BJP can take full advantage of that support. There is a big difference between getting a clean chit and just getting bail. Here, the Supreme Court has clearly said that bail has been granted till June 1, which means after that, surrender will have to be done. This word of dedication will act as a political immunity booster for BJP and may also cut your sympathy factor.
BJP leaders have even started saying that there are serious allegations against Kejriwal, the court has accepted it and has allowed him to go out on bail for a few days. This means that BJP will bat more aggressively on the pitch of corruption. It should not be forgotten that such attacks have already taken place on Rahul and Sonia Gandhi even when both were on bail. BJP is continuously making fun of the National Herald issue. Now this speculation is about Aam Aadmi Party and Kejriwal.
What does it mean for Congress?
Arvind Kejriwal's exit is also affecting the Congress party. If we talk about losses, Congress would never want the contest to become Modi versus Kejriwal. Aam Aadmi Party always tries to do this but the oldest party of the country is not comfortable with this. Because in that situation Rahul Gandhi's claim becomes weak. At present, Congress wants to keep its position strong in the Bharat alliance. Che wants to show that opposition unity is being seen under Rahul's leadership. But on the other hand, every leader of Aam Aadmi Party also never gets tired of saying that Modi is afraid only of Kejriwal.
At the same time, the way Sunita Kejriwal announced 6 guarantees last month in the absence of Kejriwal and in the presence of India Alliance leaders, it also strengthened Kejriwal's candidature. Now that Kejriwal himself is out, Congress will also have to change its strategy. A change where Kejriwal and Rahul Gandhi are not greatly affected. Talking about benefits, it seems that there can be a joint rally of Kejriwal and Rahul in the coming days. In this way the India alliance can get some strength.
