As their leader is in jail, the Aam Aadmi Party on Monday launched 'Jail ka Jawab Vote Se' in support of Arvind Kejriwal, seeking public backing for the approaching Lok Sabha polls.
Speaking during a press conference, AAP Rajya Sabha MP Sandeep Pathak said, "Kejriwal was arrested as part of a big conspiracy. It is the first time that a sitting chief minister has been arrested during the Lok Sabha polls. We are launching the campaign 'Jail Ka Jawab Vote Se' and we want you to empower Kejriwal."
As part of the campaign, Pathak said, AAP leaders and workers will visit the 4 Lok Sabha constituencies from where its candidates are contesting the elections. AAP Delhi convener Gopal Rai asked people to respond to "dictatorship" with their votes.
AAP Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh, who was released on bail in the same case last week, urged people to recall Kejriwal's face when they go to vote.
Kejriwal was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on March 21 in connection with a money laundering case linked to the now-scrapped Delhi excise policy.
AAP is contesting the Lok Sabha elections in alliance with the Congress. The AAP has fielded candidates on four seats - New Delhi, East Delhi, South Delhi, and West Delhi. The Congress is contesting the remaining three seats.
