In her first response on the arrest of her chief minister and party leader, Atishi, a key minister in the Delhi government, said that Arvind Kejriwal isnt merely an individual..

On the other hand, if your government flounders in your absence, your party lapses into disarray and is crippled further by defections which the BJP will be working quite assiduously to bring about it will send your politics into terminal decline..

The AAP became the only party that succeeded in expanding its presence, and rose to be the only party in the country other than the BJP and the Congress to rule in more than one state..

It is the Congress, the party Kejriwal and his 2010-14 campaign destroyed through its anti-corruption movement, routinely demanding the arrest of its topmost ministers...

The first is that the Congress, like any other anti-BJP party, knows that what is happening to AAP today could happen to it tomorrow..
