]]> New Delhi: The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) won (including leading ) 47 seats in the 70-member Delhi Assembly, while Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) is ahead in 23 seats, according to data from the Election Commission of India (EC) on Saturday.

Crossing the halfway mark, the BJP is set to regain power in Delhi after a gap of nearly 26 years. Arvind Kejriwal, who is facing corruption charges was sent to jail but is out on bail in the liquor scam, and his AAP were removed by the voters for their failure to deliver, misleading the people and involvement in various scams and corrupt practices.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi thanked the voter for reposing their trust in the BJP and also congratulated the party workers for their hard work in reaching out to the people. “Development wins, good governance triumphs,” Modi said on X, adding that his party would leave “no stone unturned” in developing Delhi.

The BJP recently won Maharashtra and Chhattisgarh elections and this third win is a big boost to the saffron party post the General Elections last year.

The Congress party also ran the poll race but failed to bag even a single seat.

]]> Gourav Chandigarh/New Delhi: The Delhi High Court, which on Tuesday dismissed Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s petition challenging his arrest by the ED and the trial court order sending him to the agency’s custody, held that judges, “as custodians of justice, are bound by the law and not by political considerations” and cannot adjudicate “political matters”.
Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma, who heard the case, noted the ED’s submission that they were in possession of enough material to arrest Kejriwal.
As senior advocate Abhishek Manu Singhvi, appearing for Kejriwal, argued that the arrest made by the ED was mala fide, and made at the time of elections, thereby seriously compromising free and fair elections and thus, also affecting democracy which, in turn, is ‘basic structure’ of the Constitution of India, the court responded: “… the courts of law are one of the pillars of democracy. Judges, as custodians of justice, are bound by the law and not by political considerations.”
” … this Court notes that the judiciary is tasked with interpreting laws and adjudicating matters before it based on the existing laws and precedents alone, rather than the political considerations.”
Justice Sharma’s verdict stated that while politics may influence governance, it is not the purview of the courts to adjudicate “political matters”. “Instead, the judiciary remains steadfast in its commitment to the principles of law and justice, independent of political considerations,” it said.
The judgement’s main crux being that political factors or dynamics should not and have never influenced the court’s deliberations or decision-making process, Justice Sharma ruled that the matter is not a conflict between the Central government and Kejriwal, but between Kejriwal and the ED.
“In such legal proceedings, it is crucial for the court to maintain its focus solely on the legal merits of the case,” the judge noted, adding that the issue before this court does not concern two political parties but an investigating agency on one hand and an alleged accused who happens to be a Chief Minister on the other.
The judge observed that the courts have been, and are better left untouched by political influences or interference, and their only and sole responsibility and duty is the application of a law enacted by the Parliament which is the will of the people.
“When adjudicating legal disputes, the Courts are duty-bound to interpret laws and assess the actions of investigating agencies in alignment with constitutional and legal norms, irrespective of political considerations,” her judgement read.
The judge stated that the arrest of Kejriwal was not in contravention of the law laid down by the Supreme Court in the case of Pankaj Bansal in respect of Section 19 of the PMLA. She said that the trial court’s order dated March 22, which had sent Kejriwal to ED’s custody, does not suffer from any infirmity or illegality.
Section 19 of the PMLA provides that the officer arresting an individual must have some “material in his possession” on the basis of which the officer should have a “reason to believe” that the person being so arrested is “guilty” of an offence punishable under PMLA.
The agency has said that it complied with all procedural requirements of Section 19(1) and (2) of the PMLA as well as Article 22(1) and (2) of the Constitution of India during the arrest and remand of CM Kejriwal.
The agency has claimed that the AAP leader was the kingpin and key conspirator of the Delhi excise scam in collusion with ministers of the Delhi government, AAP leaders and other persons and that it has material in possession which demonstrates that he is guilty of the offence of money laundering.
The ED has also alleged that CM Kejriwal was directly involved in the formulation of the Excise Policy 2021-22, drafted “considering the favours to be granted to the South Group” and that he demanded kickbacks from the South Group in exchange for favours to them in the formulation and implementation of the Excise Policy 2021-22.

]]> गौरव चंडीगढ़/नई दिल्ली: जमानत मिलने के बाद बुधवार को तिहाड़ जेल से बाहर आए आप के राज्यसभा सदस्य संजय सिंह ने कहा कि जेल में बंद दिल्ली के मुख्यमंत्री अरविंद केजरीवाल इस्तीफा नहीं देंगे।उन्होंने आप मुख्यालय में पार्टी कार्यकर्ताओं को संबोधित करते हुए कहा, “उनका (भाजपा) लक्ष्य आम आदमी पार्टी को खत्म करना है… उन्होंने देश में अत्याचार फैलाया है। मेरे छह महीने के कारावास के दौरान आप का प्रत्येक सदस्य, जमीनी स्तर के कार्यकर्ताओं से लेकर उच्च पदस्थ नेताओं तक अरविंद केजरीवाल के साथ मजबूती से खड़ा है। मैं इस बात पर जोर देना चाहता हूं कि आप जमीनी स्तर के आंदोलनों से उभरी है। हम अपने मन में किसी भी तरह का डर नहीं रखते हैं।”

संजय सिंह ने भाजपा पर निशाना साधते हुए कहा, “भाजपा केजरीवाल के इस्तीफे के लिए दबाव बना रही है। हालांकि, उनकी मांग उनके इस्तीफे की नहीं है, बल्कि मुफ्त पानी के प्रावधान और स्कूल सुविधाओं में सुधार को रोकने की है। वह इस्तीफा नहीं देंगे, इसके बजाय वह लोगों की सेवा करना जारी रखेंगे।” आप नेता ने यह भी कहा कि छह महीने की कैद के दौरान उन्हें पता चला कि जेल मैनुअल के अनुसार, हिरासत में किसी भी व्यक्ति को असीमित संख्या में पत्र लिखने का अधिकार है।

आप नेता ने बुधवार को जेल से बाहर आने के बाद पार्टी कार्यालय जाने से पहले सबसे पहले सीएम केजरीवाल की पत्‍नी सुनीता केजरीवाल से मुलाकात की। सुप्रीम कोर्ट ने मंगलवार को यह देखने के बाद उन्हें जमानत दे दी कि प्रवर्तन निदेशालय (ईडी) को उनकी जमानत पर रिहाई पर कोई आपत्ति नहीं है।इसमें यह भी कहा गया है कि उन्हें ट्रायल कोर्ट द्वारा तय किए गए नियमों और शर्तों पर रिहा किया जाएगा, जिससे यह स्पष्ट हो जाएगा कि वह लंबित मामले में अपनी भूमिका के संबंध में कोई सार्वजनिक टिप्पणी या भाषण नहीं देंगे।

विशेष न्यायाधीश कावेरी बावेजा ने रिहाई के संबंध में आदेश जारी करते हुए सिंह को अपना पासपोर्ट जमा करने, बिना अनुमति के देश नहीं छोड़ने और सबूतों के साथ छेड़छाड़ करने या गवाहों को प्रभावित करने का कोई प्रयास नहीं करने का निर्देश दिया था।

]]> Gourav Chandigarh/ New Delhi: The presence of – and prominence accorded – to Sunita Kejriwal, the wife of jailed Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, at the INDIA bloc rally in the national capital on Sunday has triggered speculations about the possibility that she could take a political plunge in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections. What made her presence at the rally more conspicuous was the message of her husband Arvind Kejriwal that she read out in what appeared to be an attempt to strike an emotional chord with the audience at the Ramleela Maidan.

Sunita Kejriwal, since the arrest of her husband, has released several video messages, which is being seen as a political strategy of the Aadmi Aadmi Party (AAP) to give her a broader political space. The question doing the rounds in political circles is whether Arvind Kejriwal is planning to hand over the reins of power in Delhi to his wife. The BJP leaders are already saying that Sunita Kejriwal is preparing to be the next Chief Minister of Delhi ever since her husband was taken into custody by the Enforcement Directorate (ED).

Recently, Sunita Kejriwal also initiated the ‘Kejriwal ko Aashirwad’ campaign sharing two Whatsapp numbers for his supporters to send their messages and extend their support. Arvind Kejriwal was arrested on March 21 by the ED in the alleged excise policy scam and is currently in the financial probe agency’s custody. Sunita Kejriwal shared the dias with top opposition leaders including Congress chief Malliarjun Kharge, MPs Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi, Uddhav Thackeray, Sharad Pawar, and Sitaram Yechury.

On this day at Ramleela Ground the Nayagaon Team of Punjab (Kharar) also reached there for protest in which Hazoora Singh Babla (Distt. Secretary), Joginder Singh (Member), Tarlochan Singh and other party workers mark there presence. 

She began her address by posing a poignant question regarding the Prime Minister’s role in her husband’s arrest, asking whether it was justifiable. “I want to ask a question. Is it justifiable that our Prime Minister Narendra Modi has imprisoned my husband? Do you believe in the integrity and patriotism of Kejriwal Ji? Despite calls from BJP members for his resignation due to his incarceration, do you think he should step down?,” she said, before reading out the letter by the Delhi Chief Minister.

“Remember, your Kejriwal is resilient like a lion; they cannot confine him for long. Kejriwal lives in the hearts of crores of people because of the bravery and courage with which he is fighting for the country. Many times, I feel that in the freedom struggle, he was a freedom fighter who was martyred while fighting for the country. Even in this birth, Kejriwal ji has probably been sent to fight for Mother India,” Sunita Kejriwal said.

Portraits of Bhagat Singh and B.R. Ambedkar alongside the Tricolour in the background of Sunita Kejriwal’s video messages garnered more attention than her speech itself. Social media buzzed with discussions about Sunita Kejriwal’s speculated political debut. Many posts drew parallels with Rabri Devi, who assumed the role of Bihar Chief Minister in 1997 after her husband Lalu Prasad was jailed in a corruption case.

However, it’s worth noting that Sunita Kejriwal holds no official position within the AAP and her occasional appearances haven’t triggered significant political responses. Reacting to Sunita Kejriwal’s address, Union Minister Anurag Thakur sarcastically remarked that the AAP leader’s wife has now joined the list of aspirants vying to succeed Arvind Kejriwal.

BJP MP Manoj Tiwari questioned Sunita Kejriwal’s past actions, highlighting instances where she seemingly stood by as her husband “broke promises”. He also criticised her for assuming a position of power amid controversies surrounding Arvind Kejriwal’s governance. The most noteworthy reactions, however, centred around Sunita Kejriwal delivering speeches from the same seat that her husband typically used to occupy during his addresses. While some interpreted this as a symbolic transfer of power within the AAP leadership, others questioned her right to occupy the “Chief Minister’s seat”.

The AAP has reiterated that Arvind Kejriwal will continue serving as the Chief Minister. Nevertheless, the party has refrained from commenting on speculations regarding Sunita Kejriwal’s possible foray into politics.

]]> Gourav Chandigarh/New Delhi:  AAP leader and Delhi Minister Saurabh Bharadwaj on Thursday alleged that  BJP has poached their party’s MP Sushil Kumar Rinku and MLA Sheetal Angural, and that “numerous MLAs in the state had been tempted with financial incentives to defect and align with the BJP with promises of Y+ security and positions”. Addressing a press conference here, Minister Bharadwaj questioned that if the BJP was experiencing such dire circumstances in Punjab, “why did it recruit our MP and MLA yesterday?”

“Our MLAs from Punjab informed us yesterday that numerous MLAs in the state were enticed with monetary offers to defect and join the BJP. They were promised Y+ security, positions, and even the opportunity to contest the Lok Sabha elections,” said Bharadwaj. The party’s lone MP in the Lok Sabha, Sushil Kumar Rinku (48), and MLA from Punjab Sheetal Angural joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Wednesday.

“The proposition of party switching is not uncommon, but when it comes to Punjab, it’s beyond comprehension. Rinku’s tenure as MP has concluded, and with the Model Code of Conduct in effect, his options are limited to contesting elections,” said Bharadwaj. “If you seek an evaluation, it is evident that BJP will rank fourth in Jalandhar, Punjab,” claimed the Minister.

Bharadwaj also said that during a press briefing on Wednesday, three Punjab MLAs, namely Amandeep Singh, Rajinder Pal Kaur Chhina, and Jagdeep Kamboj, revealed that not only these three, but a significant number of our MLAs, received enticing phone calls urging them to defect to the BJP. “It seems that what Arvind Kejriwal had previously mentioned has materialised today — ‘Operation Lotus’ appears to have been orchestrated with the aim of destabilising AAP and undermining our governments in Delhi and Punjab,” he added.

Last week, Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann held a closed-door meeting with Rinku to gather feedback about the upcoming Lok Sabha elections. In the 2022 Assembly elections, the Congress had won in five out of the nine segments in the Jalandhar parliamentary seat, while the AAP bagged the remaining seats. The 13 Lok Sabha seats in Punjab will go to the polls on June 1.

]]> गौरव चंडीगढ़/नई दिल्ली: आम आदमी पार्टी (आप) के एकलौते लोकसभा सांसद सुशील कुमार रिंकू बुधवार को भाजपा में शामिल हो गए। भाजपा नेता विनोद तावड़े ने रिंकू को भाजपा मुख्यालय में पार्टी की सदस्यता दिलाई। सुशील के साथ ही जालंधर ईस्ट से आम आदमी पार्टी के विधायक शीतल अंगूराल भी बीजेपी में शामिल हुए। रिंकू ने कहा कि वो प्रधानमंत्री नरेंद्र मोदी, केंद्रीय गृह मंत्री अमित शाह की कार्यशैली से प्रभावित होकर भाजपा में शामिल हो रहे हैं। इसके साथ ही उन्होंने कहा कि चुनाव में जो विकास के वादे उन्होंने किए थे, उन्हें पूरा करने में पंजाब सरकार ने सहयोग नहीं किया। 

इस दौरान पंजाब भाजपा के अध्यक्ष सुनील जाखड़ भी मौजूद रहे। सुशील कुमार रिंकू ‘आप’ के एकमात्र लोकसभा सांसद हैं, ऐसे में इसे आम आदमी पार्टी के लिए यह एक बड़ा झटका माना जा रहा है। सुशील कुमार रिंकू ने ऐसे समय में बीजेपी ज्वाइन की है जब ‘आप’ ने जालंधर से उन्हें टिकट देने की घोषणा कर दी थी। सांसद रिंकू व विधायक शीतल अंगूराल दोनों ही बुधवार को दिल्ली स्थिति बीजेपी मुख्यालय पर मौजूद रहे। सुशील कुमार रिंकू पहले कांग्रेस में भी रह चुके हैं। सांसद बनने से पहले वह जालंधर पश्चिम सीट से विधानसभा चुनाव भी जीत चुके हैं।

आम आदमी पार्टी ने उन्हें 2023 में जालंधर लोकसभा सीट के उपचुनाव में अपना प्रत्याशी बनाया था। यहां से जीत दर्ज करने के बाद वह पिछले एक साल से इस सीट का प्रतिनिधित्व कर रहे हैं। गौरतलब है कि दिल्ली में समझौते के बावजूद पंजाब में आम आदमी पार्टी और कांग्रेस अलग-अलग चुनाव लड़ रहे हैं। वहीं शीतल अंगुराल ने साल 2022 विधानसभा चुनाव में सुशील कुमार रिंकू को हराया था। शीतल अंगुराल के हाथों मिली इस हार के बाद रिंकू ‘आप’ में शामिल हो गए थे। शीतल अंगुराल जालंधर पश्चिम सीट से विधानसभा चुनाव जीते हैं।

इससे पहले मंगलवार को लुधियाना से कांग्रेस सांसद रवनीत सिंह बिट्टू ने बीजेपी ज्वाइन की थी। बिट्टू का कहना था कि वह पंजाब और केंद्र के बीच के खाई को पाटना चाहते हैं इसलिए बीजेपी में आए हैं। गौरतलब है कि ‘आप’ के इन दोनों नेताओं ने ऐसे समय भाजपा में जाने का फैसला किया है जब कि आम आदमी पार्टी के राष्ट्रीय संयोजक व दिल्ली के मुख्यमंत्री अरविंद केजरीवाल को ईडी ने आबकारी नीति मामले में गिरफ्तार कर लिया है। वह फिलहाल ईडी की रिमांड पर हैं।

पंजाब में लोकसभा की कुल 13 सीटें हैं जहां आप और कांग्रेस ने अलग-अलग चुनाव लड़ने का फैसला किया है। आप ने अब तक 8 सीटों पर प्रत्याशी उतार दिए हैं जिनमें रिंकू का नाम भी शामिल था।

]]> TC Bureau New Delhi: The Delhi High Court will hear on Thursday a public interest litigation (PIL) seeking Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s removal from office. A bench headed by Acting Chief Justice Manmohan will hear the matter. The petitioner, Surjit Singh Yadav, a resident of Delhi and self-proclaimed farmer and social worker, has contended that Kejriwal’s arrest by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in connection with a liquor policy case renders him unfit to hold a public office.

Yadav has argued that a Chief Minister — currently in ED’s custody till March 28 — embroiled in a financial scandal should not be allowed to continue in office, asserting that his incarceration not only obstructs the due process of law but also undermines the constitutional machinery of the state.

Citing Articles 163 and 164 of the Constitution, the petitioner has claimed that Kejriwal’s current status as an inmate incapacitates him from fulfilling the duties and responsibilities of his position as a Chief Minister.

The plea further talks about the practicality of a jailed Chief Minister conducting governmental affairs from prison, suggesting that the scrutiny imposed by prison authorities on all materials reaching Kejriwal would violate the oath of secrecy administered to him as Chief Minister.

Additionally, Yadav has argued that allowing Kejriwal to retain his position would permit him to influence investigations in which he is implicated, contradicting principles of criminal jurisprudence. The petitioner has urged the court to issue a writ of Quo Warranto, compelling Kejriwal to justify his authority to hold the office of Chief Minister and ultimately, to remove him from the position.

Gourav Chandigarh/New Delhi: The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Sunday held a candle march in protest against its convenor and Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal’s arrest by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in the liquor policy money laundering case. All the AAP MLAs and Councillors have been asked to hold candle march in their areas against the arrest of Arvind Kejriwal.

AAP leader and Delhi minister Atishi, who led several women workers of the party during their candle march, said that the are protesting to save the democracy. “After the declaration of Lok Sabha polls, the Convener of a National party has been arrested, the bank accounts of a party has been frozen, AAP’s office has been sealed and barricaded since 2 days…has PM Modi decided to end democracy? We are holding a candle march against this,” she said.

Kejriwal is in ED custody till March 28. He was arrested by the probe agency on Thursday night following a raid and interrogation that went on for around two hours. Meanwhile, the Delhi unit of the BJP staged a protest demonstration against the Delhi government and burnt effigies of Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal.

The BJP workers held the demonstration on the eve of Holi in response to the protests by the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) workers against the arrest of the AAP national convenor. They burnt “Holikas of Corruption” besides effigies of CM Arvind Kejriwal in all the 256 wards across the city.

Delhi BJP President Virendra Sachdeva said, “Holi is a festival of goodness over evil. Today, we have done the ‘Holika Dahan’ of corruption. If there is one face of corruption in Delhi, that is Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal. Each and every Delhite should wish for a Kejriwal-free government, a corruption-free government.”
