NEW DELHI: Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal’s wife Sunita Kejriwal read out a message from her husband, purportedly written from jail, asking AAP legislators to visit their constituencies every day and take care of the problems faced by the people. What made this briefing noteworthy was the backdrop, along with the photographs of Bhagat Singh and Baba Saheb Ambedkar, the picture of CM Arvind Kejriwal showing him in jail also adorned the wall behind where Sunita Kejriwal delivered the video message.

Kejriwal in his message said he didn’t want the 2 crore people of Delhi to be inconvenienced because of his incarceration. Sunita Kejriwal’s digital briefing lasted a little over one minute. Arrested in a money laundering case related to the now-scrapped excise policy by the Enforcement Directorate on March 21, Arvind Kejriwal was sent to judicial custody for 15 days on April 1. Meanwhile, Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh, who was also arrested by the ED in October last year, but came out of Tihar jail on bail on Wednesday, visited the Hanuman temple in the morning after which he visited Rajghat. He will also visit Sunita Kejriwal at the CM residence.
