A day ahead of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's appearance before the Enforcement Directorate, Aam Aadmi Party leader and Rajya Sabha MP Raghav Chadha claimed that the BJP government has devised a plan to put all chief ministers of opposition ruled states in jail to get a freeway in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. Addressing a press conference, Chadha said the central agencies will first arrest Arvind Kejriwal and then will go after other chief ministers including Mamata Banerjee and MK Stalin.
"95 percent of all the cases registered by the central agencies are against the political opponents of the BJP... They have registered cases against all big leaders including Manish Sisodia, Rahul Gandhi and Farooq Abdullah," said Chadha.
Chadha said that after INDIA alliance came to the front, the BJP understood that they won't be able to win against this united front. "Thus the BJP devised a plan to arrest the top leaders of all the political parties of INDIA alliance. When the top leaders will be in jail, they won't be able to contest elections as they will be busy in court cases," said Chadha.
