Delhi Elections Results 2025: Aam Admi Party (AAP) leader Arvind Kejriwal conceded defeat from the New Delhi seat in the Delhi assembly elections, as BJP’s Parvesh Verma sealed a comfortable victory. With the AAP’s election debacle, all attention is now on Arvind Kejriwal, who is out on bail in the Delhi liquor policy scam case – will the AAP leader be sent back to Tihar jail?
The defeat of Arvind Kejriwal in the recent Delhi elections has sparked speculation about his potential return to Tihar Jail. The victory of BJP’s Parvesh Verma has shifted the focus to Kejriwal’s legal troubles, specifically related to the Delhi liquor policy scam case. The looming question now is whether the embattled AAP leader will face incarceration once again.
BJP MP’s Allegations
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) did not mince words when it came to criticizing Arvind Kejriwal after the election results. BJP MP Yogendra Chandolia from North West Delhi resurfaced the Delhi liquor policy scam case, insinuating that Kejriwal’s time to face accountability for his actions had arrived. Chandolia referenced Kejriwal’s prior statements, leaving the decision of his involvement in the alleged corruption scandal to the people of Delhi.
Yogendra Chandolia’s bold assertion that “It is time for Arvind Kejriwal to repay for his misdeeds and soon he will be back in jail” sent shockwaves through the political landscape. Union Minister JP Nadda echoed this sentiment by suggesting that the people of Delhi had sealed Kejriwal’s fate with their vote, hinting at a possible return to Tihar Jail for the AAP leader in connection to the Delhi liquor scam case.
Legal History of Arvind Kejriwal and Manish Sisodia
Arvind Kejriwal’s legal woes date back to 2024 when he was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in connection to the Delhi liquor policy case. Despite being granted interim bail for his Lok Sabha campaign, Kejriwal faced a prolonged legal battle. The Supreme Court eventually granted him temporary relief, allowing him to campaign freely before his release from Tihar Jail in 2024.
Similarly, former Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia found himself entangled in the Delhi liquor policy case, leading to his arrest by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) in 2023. Sisodia’s subsequent resignation and legal battles mirrored Kejriwal’s tumultuous journey through the judicial system. While Sisodia was eventually granted bail, the specter of the ongoing ED investigation looms over both AAP leaders.
The recent electoral defeat of Arvind Kejriwal and Manish Sisodia marks a significant shift in Delhi’s political landscape. Despite the loss of these key figures, four AAP ministers managed to secure victories, offering a glimmer of hope for the party amidst a wave of setbacks.
The uncertainty surrounding the legal fate of Arvind Kejriwal and Manish Sisodia casts a shadow over their political future. As the Delhi liquor policy scam case continues to unfold, the possibility of a return to Tihar Jail remains a looming threat for the embattled AAP leaders. The outcome of these legal battles will undoubtedly shape the course of Delhi’s political landscape in the coming years.
