Former Delhi Deputy CM Manish Sisodia has given his first interview after coming out of jail after 17 months in the liquor scam. He said that I never thought that I would have to go to jail in the liquor scam.
In a conversation with Aaj Tak, Sisodia said that opposition leaders are being put in jail. Attempts were made to break us. Accusing each other is common in politics. But I think there is some reason for sending a person to jail or arresting him. On the question of joining the government, he said that I am not in a hurry to join the government right now.
Manish Sisodia said that I have spent 17 months in jail. During this time I became friends with myself in the jail. On the question of Aam Aadmi Party’s embarrassment in the liquor scam, Sisodia said that I think that instead of the party being embarrassed in this case, its respect has increased. People are thinking that this party is standing firm despite so much pressure.
Sisodia said that this case related to the liquor scam was fought not by me but by my party. I did not have the capacity to fight the case. During this time, my wife stood by me all the time.
Sisodia said that parties break up and governments disintegrate when there is a threat of ED action. But neither our party nor the government has disintegrated. Our party stood firm. We kept working continuously.
What did Sisodia say on the question of alliance with Congress?
Elections are going to be held in Delhi in the next few months. In such a situation, on the question of alliance with Congress, he said that alliances are decided according to time. I look at Delhi elections and Lok Sabha elections separately. Elections are a very small thing. We have to fight the dictatorship of BJP first. There is a crisis of dictatorship in this country. The opposition is being put in jail. Kejriwal ji is in jail. Earlier, Hemant Soren was put in jail. Many leaders of our party have been put in jail. Tomorrow Rahul Gandhi or Mallikarjun Kharge will also be put in jail. At present, there is a lot of uproar. ED has harassed small businessmen. We have to stand against this dictatorship.
Let us tell you that Manish Sisodia got bail on August 9. He came out of jail after 17 months of getting bail.
