New Delhi, November 18: Delhi Chief Minister and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Arvind Kejriwal has scheduled a meeting with party workers on Friday afternoon after his recent meeting with party MLAs and councilors. The meeting is expected to include discussions with party MPs, MLAs, councilors and grassroots workers.
The meeting comes amid Enforcement Directorate (ED) summons earlier issued to Kejriwal in connection with the alleged liquor policy scam. Despite the summons, Kejriwal chose to stay away from the ED proceedings and continued with AAP’s campaign activities in Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh.
At an earlier meeting with MLAs and municipal councilors, party members reportedly advised Kejriwal not to resign if he is arrested and encouraged him to continue running the government from jail if necessary. Did.
Expressing his stand in a letter to the ED, Kejriwal has questioned the legality and political motivation behind the ED summons. As of now, the ED has not issued any fresh summons to the Delhi Chief Minister in connection with the case.
AAP leaders have been vocal that the notices were sent strategically to hamper their participation in the election campaign in several states. Kejriwal has demanded withdrawal of the notice, alleging interference in the democratic process.
