Kejriwal added that this means that “I am not being arrested to investigate any liquor scam but they are conspiring to topple the Aam Aadmi Party government in Delhi”.
“In the last nine years, they hatched many conspiracies to topple our government. But they did not get any success. God and the people always supported us. All our MLAs are also strongly together. This time also these people will fail in their nefarious intentions,” the Delhi chief minister claimed.
Kejriwal said “these people” know how much work his government has done for the people of Delhi. “Despite all the obstacles created by them, we have accomplished so much. The people of Delhi love AAP immensely. Therefore, it is not in their power to defeat the AAP in the elections. So they want to topple the government by arresting them on the pretext of a fake liquor scam,” the AAP national convenor said.
