'I am kattar imaandaar': Arvind Kejriwal breaks down after clean chit in Delhi excise policy case

NEW DELHI: Former Delhi chief minister and AAP supremo Arvind Kejriwal was on Friday acquitted of all charges by the Rouse Avenue court. Hailing the verdict as “truth always wins,” Kejriwal became visibly emotional while speaking to reporters outside the court premises.Kejriwal’s long-time deputy Manish Sisodia was also discharged by the court.Special judge Jitendra Singh delivered the verdict in the case investigated by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).Reacting to the prolonged case against him, Kejriwal said, “mud was thrown at us.”He said, “For the past few years, the way BJP has been accusing us in the Delhi excise policy case, today the court has rejected all the allegations levelled against us. We have always said that the truth wins… PM Modi and Union home minister Amit Shah conspired against AAP and arrested the party’s five biggest leaders. A sitting CM was arrested. We were accused and called corrupt in every channel. Kejriwal is not corrupt. I have only earned honesty. The court has said today that Kejriwal, Manish Sisodia, and AAP are honest.”Both AAP leaders had served time in Tihar Jail during the course of the investigation. Kejriwal had also submitted his resignation to the Delhi lieutenant governor over the corruption charges linked to the Delhi excise policy case. His government, which was later succeeded by the BJP under Rekha Gupta, had faced serious allegations, and bigwigs in the AAP government were sent to jail.
