Arvind Kejriwal Resumes Leadership Following Release from Tihar Jail

Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal made his first visit to the AAP office after being released from Tihar jail. He discussed future strategies and assembly polls with senior leaders, as AAP aims to contest all Haryana assembly seats.

Delhi Chief Minister and Aam Aadmi Party National Convenor Arvind Kejriwal arrived at the party office in Delhi on Sunday. This marks his first visit following his release from Tihar jail on Friday night. Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann stated that Kejriwal will address the nation, highlighting that he managed to keep the party united even from jail.

On Saturday, Kejriwal convened a meeting with senior party leaders to discuss various issues, including the upcoming assembly polls in Haryana and party organization in Delhi. AAP leaders confirmed that Kejriwal will campaign in Haryana, where the party plans to contest all 90 assembly seats.

AAP general secretary and MP Sandeep Pathak announced that the party will engage in the Haryana elections with full strength. The meeting was held at the residence of senior party leader and former Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia, with leaders Sanjay Singh and Gopal Rai present.

Kejriwal conducted a roadshow from Chandgiram Akhara to his official residence after his release. He was freed from Tihar Jail on Friday evening, following a Supreme Court bail in connection with the alleged Delhi Excise Policy scam.

Kejriwal's release was secured after his lawyers provided surety bonds before a special CBI judge, citing the Supreme Court's ruling. A large crowd of AAP leaders and supporters greeted him outside Tihar jail, and celebrations continued at his residence.

The Supreme Court granted Kejriwal bail, stating that prolonged incarceration would unjustly deprive him of liberty. The court imposed conditions on his release, including a prohibition on public comments about the case and a requirement to attend all trial hearings unless exempted.
