The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Monday (March 25) launched a robust social media campaign in response to the arrest of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal in the excise policy case. According to Delhi Minister and AAP leader Atishi, party members across the nation have changed their profile pictures on various platforms such as X, Facebook, WhatsApp, and others, displaying an image of Kejriwal behind bars, accompanied by the text 'Modi Ka Sabse Bada Dar Kejriwal' (Modi's biggest fear is Kejriwal).

Highlighting Kejriwal's significance as a challenger to PM Modi, Atishi criticized the timing of his arrest by the Enforcement Directorate (ED), just after the announcement of Lok Sabha polls. She accused the BJP of fabricating charges against CM Kejriwal and utilizing the ED to arrest him without evidence.

CM Kejriwal was arrested on March 21 after being named multiple times in chargesheets related to the excise policy case. Despite being summoned nine times by the ED, he did not appear before the probe agency.

The chargesheet alleges that all the accused in the excise policy case were in contact with the Delhi CM to formulate policies that favored them, resulting in undue benefits in exchange for kickbacks to the party.
