Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal is set to return to prison on Sunday following an order from the Supreme Court. His request for temporary bail on health grounds has been postponed until June 5 by the Delhi court.
In his post on ‘X,’ Kejriwal stated that he would be returning to jail around 3 pm. Before doing so, he plans to visit Mahatma Gandhi’s memorial at Raj Ghat, the party office on DDU Marg, and a Hanuman temple.
“I came out for election campaign for 21 days on the orders of the Hon’ble Supreme Court. I am very grateful to the Hon’ble Supreme Court. Today I will surrender by going to Tihar. I will leave home at 3 pm. First, I will go to Rajghat and pay tribute to Mahatma Gandhi. From there I will go to Hanuman temple in Connaught Place to seek blessings of Lord Hanuman,” the Delhi CM said in his post on X.
“And from there I will go to the party office and meet all the workers and party leaders. From there I will again leave for Tihar. All of you take care of yourselves. If you are happy then your Kejriwal will also be happy in jail,” he added.
Kejriwal, who is in jail for the Delhi excise case, was granted a three-week temporary bail to campaign for the Lok Sabha election 2024, which ended yesterday.
