Kejriwal remembers Sisodia’s contributions, turns emotional

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal turned emotional on Wednesday as he spoke about the contributions of jailed AAP leader and former minister Manish Sisodia.
Speaking about the former deputy chief minister of Delhi, who has been in jail since this February with the alleged Delhi liquor policy case, Kejriwal, in a veiled attack on the BJP, said that it was attempting to “stop the revolution in education” in schools in the national capital. “We have to continue to carry forward his dream. We do not have to let him stop his work.
Manish Sisodia will come out of jail very soon. The truth will never vanquish,” an emotional Kejriwal said after inaugurating a new building at Dr Ambedkar School of specialised excellence in Dariyapur Kalyan here.
In an apparent reference to the BJP-led Central government, without naming them, Kejriwal said some people want to “ensure the revolution in education in Delhi schools is finished.”
“We will not let it finish. It was the dream of Manish Sisodia to see that every child should get the best possible education,” Kejriwal said.
He also accused the ruling BJP government of framing Sisodia in false cases.
“They (BJP) framed Manish Sisodia in false cases and got him arrested. He is in jail for many months. Why is he behind bars?” Kejriwal asked, adding that, “big goons are roaming around in the country. But they do not arrest them”.
Kejriwal said he believed that Sisodia was jailed because he was providing good education to students, and building good schools.
‘Had he (Sisodia) not done such a good job in the education sector, he would not have been arrested,” Kejriwal said, taking a dig at the BJP.
