Delhi Congress Criticizes Kejriwal's Conditional Bail

The Delhi Congress chief, Devender Yadav, criticized Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's conditional bail in an excise policy corruption case, describing it as a legal procedure. The Supreme Court granted bail, highlighting unjust deprivation of liberty, while Congress accused AAP of wrongly celebrating bail as acquittal.

The Congress' Delhi chief, Devender Yadav, on Friday stated that Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's conditional bail in the excise policy case represents a 'legal procedure'.

The Supreme Court granted bail to Kejriwal in the CBI's corruption case tied to the alleged excise policy scam, citing that his prolonged incarceration would amount to 'unjust deprivation of liberty'.

Yadav alleged that the apex court's decision to grant bail with stringent conditions does not equate to an acquittal, contrasting it with AAP's celebrations as if Kejriwal and colleagues were absolved of all charges.
