Sunita, the wife of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, who made explosive speeches at INDIA bloc rallies last month to enter the political arena, will now spearhead the Aam Aadmi Party’s (AAP) campaign for the Lok Sabha elections in Delhi and other states.
Today, Sunita Kejriwal will support AAP candidate Kuldeep Kumar for East Delhi with a massive roadshow in the nation’s capital.”Sunita Kejriwal, Arvind Kejriwal’s wife, will launch a campaign to ask for blessings for her husband and to gather support for AAP candidates in opposition to his arrest. Minister Atishi of Delhi stated, “She will ask the people of Delhi, Punjab, Gujarat, and Haryana for their blessings on him.”
Ms Kejriwal is gradually assuming a bigger role in the party to give a boost to the AAP’s campaigning, which has been affected by the Chief Minister’s arrest in March, party sources said.
AAP Minister Saurabh Bharadwaj said that Ms Kejriwal is the best person to keep the party together in the prevailing circumstances and asserted that her presence has had a “positive effect” on the party workers.
Ms Kejriwal last month took part in the INDIA bloc’s mega rallies in Delhi and Ranchi, which saw the opposition camp launch a fierce attack on the BJP for allegedly misusing central agencies to harass opposition-ruled states.
She has so far held three digital media briefings mainly focused on communicating Arvind Kejriwal’s messages to the people.
The Enforcement Directorate detained Mr. Kejriwal last month in connection with a money laundering case involving the liquor policy scam. The AAP claims that no law prevents him from leading the government from prison, so he continues to serve as Chief Minister despite his arrest.
Former Indian Revenue Services (IRS) officer Sunita Kejriwal spent 22 years working in the income tax division. In Bhopal, she attended a training program where she met Arvind Kejriwal. Arvind Kejriwal is an officer from the 1995 batch, whereas she is from the 1994 batch.
In 2016, she retired voluntarily. Her most recent position was as the income tax commissioner at the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal in Delhi.
