Kejriwal Triumphs: AAP Overcomes Trial by Fire in Excise Case

Arvind Kejriwal, AAP leader, celebrates being acquitted in the excise policy case along with 22 others. He challenges PM Modi to hold elections in Delhi, confident AAP will achieve a significant victory. Kejriwal accuses the BJP of false allegations aimed at tarnishing AAP's integrity, but insists on their innocence.

Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Arvind Kejriwal announced on Tuesday that his party successfully overcame the 'agnipariksha' or trial by fire, following a court's decision to discharge him and 22 others in the excise policy case.

Addressing a public meeting in Panaji, Kejriwal challenged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to conduct assembly elections in Delhi, claiming the BJP would struggle to win even 10 seats while AAP would secure over 60. The court had previously slammed the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) for presenting a case that lacked judicial credibility.

Kejriwal credited the court verdict to the truth and the support of the people, dismissing the BJP's accusations of corruption against AAP as baseless. He expressed confidence that these unfounded allegations were politically motivated to destabilize his party's governance in Delhi.
