Atishi and Saurabh Bharadwaj, AAP ministers, were arrested during protests over Arvind Kejriwal’s imprisonment

Ministers Atishi and Saurabh Bharadwaj of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) were taken into custody by Delhi Police on Friday. This occurs before to the Supreme Court hearing on Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s appeal over his apprehension by the Enforcement Directorate (ED). The Minister of Education in Delhi is Atishi, while the Minister of Health is Bharadwaj.

Leaders of the AAP had already claimed that the BJP was acting desperately to muzzle the opposition before the polls. “They had nothing to ask the Delhi Chief Minister. The BJP is anxious and afraid because elections are coming up. With a powerful opposition voice that would challenge the Prime Minister, the Delhi Chief Minister has been detained in order to silence that voice,” Bharadwaj said. He went on to say that the Delhi Chief Minister has been jailed in an attempt to hide the fact that the BJP is vulnerable in the electoral bonds issue and to deflect public attention.

The BJP’s “political conspiracy” is how the AAP describes Kejriwal’s detention.
Terming the arrest of Delhi Chief Minister as the BJP’s “political conspiracy,” According to Atishi, the head of the Aam Aadmi Party, this is the first time the central government has detained a sitting chief minister. “The federal government has detained a sitting chief minister for the first time. Before his arrest, the chief minister of Jharkhand also resigned. This is the first time in the history of the nation that a national party’s national convenor has been taken into custody after the announcement of the Lok Sabha elections. “The arrest of Arvind Kejriwal is a political conspiracy by the BJP,” Atishi said during a news conference.

In addition, he held positions as Minister of Water, Urban Development, and Health, as well as Chairman of the Delhi Jal Board. Bharadwaj finished his early education in New Delhi, where he was born.

case of Delhi excise policy fraud
The Delhi government’s excise policy for 2021–22, which granted licences to liquor sellers, is accused of enabling cartelization and favouring some dealers who had reportedly paid bribes for it—an allegation that the AAP has always denied. After the policy was abandoned, Delhi Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena suggested that the Central Bureau of Investigation look into the matter. The ED then filed a case under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA).
