Arvind Kejriwal Holds Press Conference Before Going To Jail

Delhi Chief Arvind Kejriwal on Sunday addressed the press before returning to the jail and said that he was "fighting against this dictatorship and the country cannot tolerate this kind of dictatorship." He further added that Bhagat Singh was hanged for the country, and so he is also ready to be hanged.

Speaking about the results of the exit polls, he called them fake. "Exit polls for 2024 Lok Sabha Elections have come out yesterday. Take it in writing, all these exit polls are fake. One exit poll gave 33 seats to BJP in Rajasthan whereas there are only 25 seats there...The real issue is why they had to do a fake exit poll 3 days before the day of counting. There are several theories regarding this, one of them is that they are trying to manipulate the machines (EVMs)," he said.
