In a surprising twist of events, Sukesh Chandrasekhar, the conman currently serving time for extortion and reportedly the former lover of actress Jacqueline Fernandez, has publicly welcomed the arrest of Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal by the ED.
Kejriwal's apprehension is linked to accusations of money laundering associated with the excise policy, marking a significant development in the ongoing political saga.
Chandrasekhar's response to Kejriwal's arrest was unambiguous and direct. "Truth has prevailed, I welcome him to the Tihar jail," Chandrasekhar boldly declared while under police escort, as reported by PTI.
This statement not only reflects Chandrasekhar's ongoing legal battles but also underscores his vocal criticism of Kejriwal and the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP).
Moreover, Chandrasekhar expressed his readiness to escalate the matter by volunteering to become an approver in the case. He said he will become an approver, and? will ensure Kejriwal is held accountable, signaling his willingness to collaborate with authorities to ensure justice is served.
This latest development further exacerbates the longstanding feud between Chandrasekhar and Kejriwal. In February, Chandrasekhar alleged being subjected to coercion, including promises of political favours, to retract complaints against the Chief Minister. He also hinted at forthcoming revelations, intending to expose Kejriwal and AAP MLA Satyendar Jain to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).
In a bold and audacious move, Chandrasekhar announced his candidature against Kejriwal in the upcoming Delhi Assembly elections as an independent contender. "Kejriwal ji, I will demonstrate how your alleged 'maha thug' persona resonates with the people of your constituency and Delhi," he proclaimed, setting the stage for a potential showdown that could shake up Delhi's political landscape.
Meanwhile, amid the uproar surrounding Kejriwal's arrest, an old video featuring filmmaker Anurag Kashyap's cautionary remarks about the Chief Minister's leadership has resurfaced online.
In the video, shared by a user on X, Kashyap unequivocally dismisses Kejriwal when compared to Rahul Gandhi.
Delving into his rationale, Kashyap recalls an incident from the Anna Hazare movement, where he observed Kejriwal's adeptness at crowd engagement. Kashyap interprets this as a precursor to Kejriwal's eventual plunge into politics, a prediction that materialised shortly thereafter.
Drawing a chilling analogy, Kashyap forewarns that granting Kejriwal power could lead to disastrous outcomes, likening him to Pol Pot, the infamous autocratic ruler of Cambodia. Kashyap's cautionary tale adds a thought-provoking dimension to the ongoing discourse surrounding Kejriwal's leadership and the allegations against him.
