BJP’s plot to detain Arvind Kejriwal targets top I.N.D.I.A bloc leaders: AAP

The Aam Aadmi Party on Wednesday alleged that Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal will be the first to be arrested as part of the BJP’s plan to target top I.N.D.I.A alliance leaders ahead of the 2024 Lok Sabha polls.
At a press conference here, AAP leader Raghav Chadha claimed that since 2014, 95 per cent of cases registered by the investigative agencies have been against opposition leaders.
«Now, after the formation of the I.N.D.I.A alliance, the BJP is rattled. We have learnt from sources that they have hatched a plan to target top leaders from the I.N.D.I.A alliance. The first arrest in this plan will be Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal,” he said.
“The BJP knows it is losing all seven Lok Sabha seats in Delhi. It is planning to get Kejriwal arrested so that AAP is not able to contest the polls,” Chadha added.
The AAP leader also shared a list of those it claimed would be targeted by the investigative agencies.
“After Kejriwal, they will arrest Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren and then Deputy Chief Minister of Bihar Tejashwi Yadav and West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and her nephew Abhishek Banerjee. After these leaders, they will target Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M K Stalin and then top leaders of the Shiv Sena and the NCP in Maharashtra,” he alleged.
There was no immediate reaction from the BJP to Chadha’s allegations.
Kejriwal has been summoned by the Enforcement Directorate for questioning on Thursday in a money laundering case linked to the alleged excise policy scam.
