The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has launched a vehement campaign against the BJP since the Enforcement Directorate (ED) arrested Arvind Kejriwal in a money laundering case linked with Delhi liquor policy case.  

Delhi Minister Atishi on Tuesday claimed the BJP was mulling arrest of four AAP leaders, including her, ahead of the Lok Sabha polls. She claimed the arrests of Raghav Chadha, Saurabh Bharadwaj and Durgesh Pathak, besides her, were in the offing.

Amid the fervid pandemonium, a debate on the whereabouts of AAP’s Rajya Sabha MP Raghav Chadha has gained pace across the political spectrum.

Chadha has never been spotted in any protest or TV debate since Kejriwal’s arrest by the ED.

However, Delhi Minister Saurabh Bharadwaj addressed the issue in his press conference and said Raghav was with them and the BJP would have made him the Chief Minister of any state had he been with them.

Meanwhile, AAP MLAs met Arvind Kejriwal's wife Sunita Kejriwal and asserted that the Delhi chief minister should continue to run the government from jail and not step down.

As per reports, over 55 MLAs were present in the meeting.

AAP convener Arvind Kejriwal was on Monday sent to 15-day judicial custody by a Delhi court after his ED custody expired. The law enforcement agency alleged Kejriwal had not cooperated with them during the interrogation.
