Akhilesh Yadav said - another victory of truth!!!
The supreme court on friday granted interim bail to delhi chief minister arvind kejriwal till june 1 to campaign in the lok sabha elections. A bench of Justice sanjeev Khanna and Justice Dipankar Dutta said that kejriwal, arrested in a money laundering case related to the alleged excise policy scam, will have to surrender on june 2 and go back to jail.
After kejriwal got interim bail, Samajwadi party leader and former UP cm Akhilesh Yadav reacted. He shared a photo with former indian national congress President rahul gandhi and wrote - The bail of Delhi's popular chief minister Shri arvind kejriwal is another victory of truth. The power and unity of 'India Alliance' is going to liberate the people of india from the painful rule of BJP. Pledge to vote unitedly! However, the bench did not accept the request of Kejriwal's lawyer Abhishek Singhvi that he be granted interim bail till june 5, a day after the counting of votes on june 4. The Enforcement Directorate (ED) opposed the grant of interim bail to kejriwal on the basis of election campaign, saying in the court that there is no such precedent.
The court said that granting interim bail to kejriwal for 21 days will not make much difference. The apex court was hearing Kejriwal's plea challenging last month's decision of the delhi High court upholding his arrest in the case. SP spokesperson Rajkumar Bhati also reacted to the court's decision. He said that 'the news of arvind kejriwal getting interim bail is encouraging and a matter of relief for the india alliance. This is a matter of celebration not only for the leaders of the india Alliance but also for the voters.
