Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said on Sunday he would return to jail not because he was involved in corruption but because he had raised his voice against “dictatorship”. Kejriwal was released from jail on May 10 on interim bail granted by the Supreme Court in a money laundering case linked to the alleged Delhi excise policy scam to campaign in the Lok Sabha polls.
The bail expired on June 1, the day the seventh and final phase of the general elections was held. Addressing AAP workers and leaders at the party office before surrendering at Tihar jail, Kejriwal said he campaigned during the Lok Sabha elections to “save” the country. “I’m going back to jail not because I was involved in corruption but because I raised my voice against the dictatorship,” he said. Kejriwal claimed that all exit polls predicting a third term for the BJP-led NDA were “false”.
“Yesterday the exit polls were published and I can tell you in writing that they are false. In Rajasthan, there are 25 parliamentary seats, but an exit poll gave them 33 seats. What was the reason they had to publish false exit poll results? he said, taking aim at the BJP. Exit polls on Saturday predicted that Prime Minister Narendra Modi will retain power for a third consecutive term, with the NDA expected to win a huge majority in the polls.
