AAP slams BJP

During the I.N.D.I.A bloc's press conference in the national capital, Aam Aadmi Party leader and Delhi Minister Gopal Rai criticized the BJP-led Centre over Arvind Kejriwal's arrest, alleging that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is "misusing" central agencies.

Rai expressed anger over Kejriwal's arrest, stating that it reflects the sentiments of people across the nation who love and respect the Constitution.

He emphasized the need to strengthen the fight against what he termed as "dictatorship" and announced plans for a Maha rally of the INDIA alliance at Ramlila Maidan on March 31st, urging people from across India who trust in the Constitution and democracy to join at 10 am.
