After national elections in which opposition groups performed better than expected, India’s opposition leader and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal was granted bail by a city court on Thursday ( Jun 20 ), his party and lawyers reported.
Kejriwal was detained in March by India’s financial-crime prevention firm in connection with his denial of allegations relating to the wine policy in the country’s capital.
He was granted temporary bail by India’s top court in May “because of the ( national ) elections”, enabling him to campaign for his Aam Aadmi Party ( AAP ) and the INDIA alliance of over two dozen opposition groups, of which AAP is a member.
As his momentary bail expired, Kejriwal turned himself in to the prison officials on June 2.
” Tomorrow night, the method for loan may be completed and he will be released from prison tomorrow day”, Rishikesh Kumar, a part of Kejriwal’s legal staff, said on Thursday night.
The AAP and the INDIA empire officials have dismissed the graft allegations made against Kejriwal and other users of his party over the past two decades and claimed that Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s administration attempted to prevent opposition parties from enjoying a level playing field in the polls.
The state has denied the claims.
” Truth may be troubled, never defeated”, AAP said in a post on social media app X following the judge’s order.
In the votes that ended this month, Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party lost its clear lot. With the backing of its friends, it established the state.
