The Rouse Avenue Court in Delhi acquitted AAP national convenor Arvind Kejriwal and former Deputy CM Manish Sisodia, alongside others, in the high-profile CBI excise policy matter on Friday, ending months of legal drama. AAP’s Delhi president Saurabh Bharadwaj rejoiced, proclaiming it ‘a monumental win for India’s democracy and its honest populace.’
Addressing the media, Bharadwaj was jubilant: ‘This isn’t AAP’s alone—it’s every citizen’s vindication against misuse of power.’ He ridiculed the ED’s tactics, from 600-location raids in key cities to zilch results. ‘Supreme Court called it out: unsustainable in trial. Bail denied on fumes, now fully debunked.’
‘ED limps like it’s on a wheelchair—no legs to stand on evidence,’ he jabbed, underscoring the lack of substance.
Bharadwaj broadened the lens to national concerns: ‘Corruption festers while the pure-hearted are persecuted—jailed on lies, branded crooks. This ruling flips the script.’
He unleashed on Congress’s Ajay Maken: ‘A BJP backer masquerading in Congress. His network persists post our decade-long tenure. He sabotages from within—Congress’s slide is his doing, clear to all except Rahul Gandhi maybe.’
As AAP cadres cheer, the acquittal bolsters their anti-corruption plank, challenging narratives of guilt. Bharadwaj’s message resonates: in a flawed system, judiciary stands tall. Expect this to fuel debates on agency autonomy and political vendettas, with AAP poised for a comeback surge.
