"It's 7 am and a team from the ED has come to my house to arrest me. My mother-in-law is undergoing cancer treatment and is here. I had informed them about this in writing, but all they wanted to do was arrest me under the pretext of a search warrant. I have been responding to all their notices for the past two years. They are fabricating cases against me and causing trouble for my entire party. Our CM is in jail, and our Deputy CM has just been released. I appeal to all the people in Okhla that my party and I will ensure that all the development work undertaken by us will get completed,” he said in the video message.
