Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, who was granted interim bail till June 1 by the Supreme Court on Friday in connection with a money laundering case linked to the alleged excise policy scam, will have a busy Saturday as he is expected to take charge of Aam Aadmi Party's Lok Sabha polls campaign.
The AAP national convenor, who thanked Lord Hanuman as he walked out of Tihar Jail on Friday, will begin his action-packed day by visiting and offering prayers at the Hanuman Temple in Connaught Place in the national capital. Kejriwal's visit to the temple is scheduled to take place at 11 am.
Kejriwal will then hold a press conference at the party office at 1 pm, before holding a road show in South Delhi.
Kejriwal, on Friday, had asked his supporters to come in large numbers to the temple. "I am feeling great to be with you. I had told you that I would come out soon... First of all, I want to pay obeisance to Lord Hanuman. I am among you because of the blessings of Lord Hanuman," he had said.
"There is a roadshow in South Delhi. I will participate in the roadshow with Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann," Kejriwal had said.
The AAP has fielded Sahi Ram Pahalwan from the South Delhi constituency.
"You will find him campaigning from tomorrow. His only goal is that dictatorship in the country should end. His interim bail is perhaps a divine hint that the dictatorship in the country should go," senior AAP leader and Delhi minister Atishi said after the Delhi CM's release from prison.
Within hours of the interim bail granted to Kejriwal by the apex court, AAP was running its 'Jail Ka Jawab Vote Se' campaign, and its leaders started posting comments and videos on social media platforms using the hashtag #ModiCantStopKejriwal.
The party had claimed that Kejriwal's bail would be a "game changer" in favour of INDIA bloc. Senior AAP leader Saurabh Bharadwaj said Kejriwal will travel all over the country to campaign for the Lok Sabha polls.
