During the roadshow, Sunita was seen waving at people from the open sunroof of a car. This came a day after AAP announced Sunita Kejriwal's entry into the party's Lok Sabha election campaign in the absence of her husband, who is presently under judicial custody. He was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate on March 21 in connection with the alleged Delhi excise policy scam.

"To oppose the arrest of Arvind Kejriwal, seek blessings for him, and campaign for AAP's candidates, his wife Sunita Kejriwal will personally step into the campaign. She will ask for blessings for Arvind from the people of Delhi, Punjab, Gujarat, and Haryana," Delhi Minister and AAP leader Atishi said in a press conference. She alleged that Arvind Kejriwal was arrested to hamper AAP's campaigning for the ongoing parliamentary polls.

"The BJP-led central government and its political weapon, the Enforcement Directorate (ED), arrested Arvind Kejriwal after the announcement of the Lok Sabha elections to prevent him from campaigning during the Lok Sabha elections. However, their move backfired on them. The people of Delhi, Punjab, and across the country are opposing Arvind Kejriwal ji's arrest, and they will respond to this arrest by voting for AAP," Atishi was quoted as saying by news agency ANI.
