Why does Aam Aadmi Party want one-sided support for Arvind Kejriwal in the INDIA block?

Even after getting interim bail from the Supreme Court, Arvind Kejriwal has not been released. Actually, he has got bail in the Enforcement Directorate case, and the Delhi Chief Minister has also been arrested by the CBI.

Now Aam Aadmi Party is expressing concern about Arvind Kejriwal’s health. Aam Aadmi Party alleges that Arvind Kejriwal’s sugar level is falling repeatedly in jail, but no one is paying attention to the seriousness of the situation – AAP’s Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh has even accused of conspiracy to murder Arvind Kejriwal.

The issue of health is a serious matter, but it is difficult to say whether Congress will agree to the kind of one-sided political support that Aam Aadmi Party is seeking. The Swati Maliwal case is also proving to be a weak link in the case of Arvind Kejriwal.

Why are there so many expectations from India Block?

AAP leaders also raised the issue of Arvind Kejriwal in the INDIA Block meeting called to discuss the strategy to corner the government in Parliament. After coming out of the meeting held at the residence of Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge, Sanjay Singh said, ‘We also raised the issue of Arvind Kejriwal ji in the meeting… His sugar level has gone below 50 36 times… We talked about issuing a joint statement on this, and also talked about doing a joint protest… and a decision will be taken on this later.

The issue of Arvind Kejriwal’s health was also raised in the court by his lawyer Abhishek Manu Singhvi. Singhvi had said in the court that the sugar level of the Chief Minister of Delhi has reached 50, which is very dangerous. Abhishek Manu Singhvi even said that a sudden drop in blood sugar level increases the possibility that the patient may not wake up the next morning. Abhishek Manu Singhvi had said, ‘A drop in sugar level during sleep can be fatal, in such a situation a person may not even wake up from sleep.’

1. As far as allies from the opposition camp are concerned, AAP MP Raghav Chaddha wants the leaders of India Block to keep visiting Tihar and meeting the Delhi Chief Minister, so that the message goes out that the entire opposition stands with Arvind Kejriwal.

2. Sanjay Singh wants that a joint statement be issued by India Block in support of Arvind Kejriwal. AAP leaders also want that the opposition should create a ruckus in the Parliament over the arrest of Arvind Kejriwal.

But the question also arises whether the Congress, which is leading the India alliance, is also ready to help Arvind Kejriwal as per the wishes of the AAP leaders?

Will Congress support Arvind Kejriwal?

Senior Congress leader Sandeep Dixit had recently said that there should be no politics over the health of the Chief Minister of Delhi. MP Sandeep Dixit had said, I would hope that these people would not do politics over the health of a big leader… If you look at the leaders, they say anything anywhere… If anyone feels bad, I apologize… but lying is your habit.

Delhi Congress leaders have been against Arvind Kejriwal and Aam Aadmi Party on most occasions. Sandeep Dixit is the son of Sheila Dixit, who has always been against Congress supporting Arvind Kejriwal.

You may remember that Arvind Kejriwal was not ready to attend the India Block meeting until the Congress assured him that it would stand with AAP in Parliament on the Delhi Services Bill.

Nevertheless, as the leader of the opposition, Rahul Gandhi has raised the issue of Arvind Kejriwal’s arrest in Parliament. Rahul Gandhi did not take names then, but mentioned two chief ministers being sent to jail. Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren was also in jail then.

Well, before taking the help of the leaders of the India Alliance, especially the Congress, the Aam Aadmi Party should look inside itself and look outside carefully – is what it is doing and what it wants the same?

1. The status of Congress in India Block has changed. Before the elections, Congress was dependent on allies, but now Rahul Gandhi has become the leader of the opposition.

2. In the alliance, Congress, TMC and SP have come into a better and stronger position, only Aam Aadmi Party is weak, because even in Punjab it has been able to get very few Lok Sabha seats – and in Delhi it is clear, but the attitude of AAP is increasing instead of decreasing.

3. As soon as the Lok Sabha elections were over, AAP announced that it would not have any alliance with Congress in the Delhi Assembly elections.

4. A few days later, Delhi Congress also declared that it will have no relationship with AAP in the assembly elections – and Congress has also intensified its election preparations.

5. Even in such circumstances, Aam Aadmi Party wants the support of Congress on its own terms – and the icing on the cake is that in the case of Arvind Kejriwal, everyone should come together and support him.

In Arvind Kejriwal’s case, Swati Maliwal’s case will also come in the way. On the issue of Swati Maliwal, Aam Aadmi Party has not got the support of any ally except Akhilesh Yadav. Akhilesh Yadav also avoided the question by talking about bigger issues in the press conference.

Yes, Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi did say that if Swati Maliwal contacted her, she would talk to her and also stand with her. In such a situation, it seems unlikely that Rahul Gandhi will be able to ignore this issue.

Swati Maliwal had written a letter to the leaders of India Block and asked for a meeting so that she could explain how the incident of assault on her at the residence of the Chief Minister of Delhi happened. Swati Maliwal has also written a letter to Rahul Gandhi. Certainly, Swati Maliwal’s attempt will be to isolate Kejriwal in India Block.
