Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Sunday held an election rally in city’s Moti Nagar area and urged people to vote for his Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) in the Lok Sabha polls to save him from going back to Tihar jail.

“I have to go back to jail after 20 days. If you choose ‘jhadu’ (AAP’s symbol), I won’t have to go back to jail,” the Chief Minister, who is out on interim bail in the liquor policy case, said during a roadshow.

Arvind Kejriwal was granted interim bail by the Supreme Court to campaign for the Lok Sabha polls and has to surrender on June 2.

Hitting out at the BJP, AAP chief alleged that he was arrested because he worked for the people of Delhi.

“My fault is that I built schools for Delhi-NCR. They sent me to jail because I worked for you. The BJP does not want that work of Delhi people are done,” he said.

The Chief Minister also alleged that his insulin injections were stopped for 15 days inside TIhar jail.

“I arranged facilities for free medicine for people but when I was in jail, for 15 days, they did not give me diabetes medicine. I was not given insulin for 15 days in jail,” Kejriwal said.

“If I went back to jail, the BJP would stop your work, free electricity, degrade schools and shut down hospitals and Mohalla Clinics,” he charged.

Accompanied by his Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, Kejriwal held a roadshow in Moti Nagar in support of AAP’s New Delhi Lok Sabha candidate Somnath Bharti.

Earlier in the day, AAP chief announced “Kejriwal ki Guarantee”, listing 10 works that will be done on war-footing, including to “free” Indian land from Chinese occupation, if the INDIA bloc forms government at the Centre.

Polling in all seven Lok Sabha seats of Delhi will take place in the sixth phase on May 25.
