Watch: Delhi CM Kejriwal Breaks Down As He Talks About Sisodia

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Wednesday turned emotional as he remembered his former deputy Manish Sisodia.

He was inaugurating a new branch of BR Ambedkar School of Specialised Excellence in Bawana.

"I am missing Manish Sisodia today. Manish Sisodia had started this aiming to provide quality education to one and all. They framed false charges against him and jailed him in an unjust manner," PTI quoted Kejriwal as saying at the event.

In a veiled attack on the BJP, Kejriwal said that the saffron party was trying to stop the revolution in the education field. "We have to continue to carry forward his dream. We do not have let stop his work. He (Manish Sisodia) will come out (jail) very soon. The truth will never vanquish," an emotional Delhi CM said.

Kejriwal stated that it was Sisodia's dream to see that every child in Delhi gets education. He accused the BJP of framing the former Deputy Delhi CM in a false case.

He added, "They (BJP) framed Manish Sisodia in false cases and got him arrested. He is in jail for many months. Why is he behind bars?" Kejriwal asked, adding that, "Big goons are roaming around in the country. But they do not arrest them".

The AAP leader claimed that Sisodia was jailed as he was providing education to students. 'Had he (Sisodia) not done such a good job in the education sector, he would not have been arrested," Kejriwal continued.

"They can't tolerate seeing that Aam Admi Party is doing well in revolutionizing education in Delhi. Everyone is talking about our good work around the country. They say, people of the country, AAP is building good schools in New Delhi," the Delhi CM added.

Last year, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) arrested Manish Sisodia on money laundering charges in connection with alleged irregularities in the Delhi excise policy.
