AAP launches social media Why is he (Arvind Kejriwal) incarcerated as soon as the election is announced?” the minister said.

She claimed the ED could not produce even “one Paisa” of evidence despite its two-year-long probe into the alleged excise scam.
Atishi alleged that the BJP and Modi want to crush Kejriwal and added that the AAP was waging a battle against “dictatorship” in the country. She urged people to join the social media DP campaign of the party saying saving the democracy and the Constitution was not just Kejriwal’s fight.
“This social media campaign will spread Arvind Kejriwal’s spark, his inspiration, to every household,” Atishi said, appealing to people to raise their voices against “dictatorship”.
The AAP leader alleged that Kejriwal has been arrested by the ED in a “fabricated” case.
“But I want to tell the BJP and Prime Minister Narendra Modi that they are mistaken if they think Arvind Kejriwal is just one person. Arvind Kejriwal is an idea, and while you can put one Arvind Kejriwal in jail, thousands more inspired by him will emerge from across the country,” she said.
