New Delhi: AAP Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh, hours after being released from the Tihar jail on Wednesday, slammed the BJP in a speech alleging it wanted Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's resignation to stop free water, electricity and Mohalla clinics in the capital.
Singh, who got bail in the alleged excise policy scam from the Supreme Court on Tuesday, also asked the BJP if the prime minister would join the probe if police from the opposition-ruled Bengal, Punjab and Tamil Nadu knocked at his doors.
He said AAP leaders Kejriwal, Manish Sisodia and Satyendar Jain were sent to jail because they wanted to provide good education, health facilities, free bus rides and Rs 1,000 to women of Delhi. Singh said the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) is a family.
Immediately after his release from the Tihar jail, the Rajya Sabha MP met the Delhi chief minister's wife Sunita Kejriwal and said he saw tears in her eyes. Singh said he will also meet the families of Sisodia and Jain.
He asked the people of the country to be wary of "dictators" who would bring tears to their eyes, saying Kejriwal would bring smiles to their faces and provide good education and health facilities to them. "If the dictator of the country can hear my voice, then listen, we are the AAP born out of a movement. We are not going to be intimidated by your threats," Singh said in his speech at the AAP office which was packed with a rejoicing crowd of party supporters and volunteers.
"I saw tears in the eyes of Arvind Kejriwal's wife for the first time. Delhi's two cr people will give a reply to the BJP for these tears," he said. "You sent Arvind Kejriwal, Manish Sisodia and Satyendar Jain to jail. Was it their fault that they provided free education and health, free pilgrimage (tours) to the elderly, free bus rides to women?" he asked.
