The Aam Aadmi Party hails the verdict.

As Delhi court granted bail to Arvind Kejriwal, the Aam Aadmi Party hailed the verdict in the excise policy case on Thursday. The 55-year-old returned to Tihar Jail on June 2nd after his interim bail period ended. Now, he is walking out of jail three months after being arrested by the Enforcement Directorate in the case.

Delhi minister Atishi posts on X.

Delhi minister Atishi of the Aam Aadmi Party posted on X tweeting, “Satyamev Jayate (Truth Triumphs)” after getting the news of Kejriwal’s bail.

MP Sanjay Singh says this is good news.

Aam Aadmi Party MP Sanjay Singh, who was also arrested in the case before getting bail on April 4th, stated, “Arvind Kejriwal coming out of jail at such a time is going to strengthen democracy. This is good news for the people of Delhi… ED’s statements till now were based on lies…this is a baseless fake case formed to trap Kejriwal.”

BJP hits back at AAP’s Satyamev Jayate remark.

Manjinder Sirsa, a BJP leader, mocked the Aam Aadmi Party for rejoicing over the bail of Arvind Kejriwal, stating, “On Arvind Kejriwal getting bail, Aam Aadmi Party is saying ‘Satyamev Jayate.’ If getting bail is victory, I would like to tell you that there is not a single person who was arrested for corruption and did not get bail,” as told to PTI. He added, “Getting bail doesn’t mean there is no evidence against you. Evidence was there, which is why the same court sent you to jail and then gave you bail, so you can’t even say the court is biased.”

However, INDIA allies hail the court verdict, with Shiv Sena, Maharashtra Congress, and the Nationalist Congress Party leaders coming forward to congratulate Kejriwal.
