Rai was addressing a press conference along with party MP Raghav Chadha. Rai said that under the “Main Bhi Kejriwal” campaign from Friday, party volunteers will visit all 2,600 polling stations in Delhi and collect people’s signatures to ask their opinion on whether Kejriwal should be made the chief minister if he is arrested.

“Kejriwal should run the government from jail itself”
Minister Gopal Rai said that Kejriwal had met party MLAs and councilors to seek their opinion on the issue and there was consensus that he should not resign and should run the government from jail. Rai said the party will organize public meetings in every ward of the city between December 21 and December 24, in which people will be discussed about the alleged liquor scam as well as the BJP’s conspiracy to arrest Kejriwal. He said that people’s opinion will also be taken as to whether Kejriwal should resign from the post of Chief Minister if he is arrested.
Kejriwal did not appear before ED
It is noteworthy that the Enforcement Directorate (ED) had earlier this month called Kejriwal for questioning in a money laundering case related to the alleged excise policy scam. Kejriwal did not appear before the investigating agency and demanded that it should withdraw its notice. He had claimed that this was an “illegal and politically motivated” move.
