Sunita Kejriwal accuses BJP of making ‘attempts to kill’ Delhi CM; ‘his food is being monitored’

Sunita Kejriwal, wife of jailed Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Sunday (Apr 21) levelled strong allegations against the Bharatiya Janata Party-led Centre of attempts being made to kill the AAP supremo in prison by not allowing him to take insulin in jail. She further alleged that the government is constantly monitoring the food consumed by her husband.

She said that the Delhi CM did not desire power and just wanted to serve the nation and wished to take India to the topmost position in the world.

While addressing the 'Nyay Ulgulan Rally' by the opposition INDIA bloc, Sunita said, "Arvind Kejriwal has no desire for power. He just wants to serve the nation. He wants to make the country no. 1. He says if educated people don't come into politics, how will the country progress?...'Jail ke taale tutenge, Arvind Kejriwal, Hemant Soren chhootenge."

'Consipray to kill Kejriwal'

Accusing the BJP of hatching a conspiracy to kill Kejriwal, Sunita claimed that her husband was denied insulin in jail which he has been consuming for the past 12 years.

"Many people say politics is a very dirty thing, and it's true. There is a camera over his food, his every morsel is being monitored...He is a sugar patient, and he has been taking 50 units of insulin every day for the last 12 years. But he is not being given insulin in jail. They want to kill Delhi's CM," the wife of the AAP national convenor said.

"They can never understand Arvind Kejriwal's thoughts. He believes he has received a very good education and upbringing, which is an obligation to him that he has to repay. He has struggled and fought for the country. He is very brave. He is a lion. He is only thinking about how to ease the lives of common citizens. He is worried about 'Bharat Mata' even in jail," she added.

She then read out Kejriwal's message from jail, elaborating upon vows made by AAP for the Lok Sabha polls.

"He (Arvind Kejriwal) has said if the INDIA bloc comes to power and is given the responsibility, we will all make India great. 'INDIA' is not just in our name, but in our hearts too," the former bureaucrat said.

"He has given six guarantees: 24 hours of electricity without power cuts, free electricity for the poor, quality and free education in government schools, Mohalla clinics in every village, and multi-speciality hospitals in every district. Farmers will get crop prices according to the Swaminathan Commission, and Delhi will be given full statehood," she further added.
