AAP’s vote 4% up in Gujarat after Sisodia raid: Kejriwal; ‘If he’s arrested…’

Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal on Thursday said AAP’s support has grown in Gujarat after the CBI raided Manish Sisodia in the ‘fake’ liquor case. “There has been a 4% increase.

If Sisodia gets arrested, then it will be 6%. And if Manish Sisodia is arrested twice, then probably we will be able to form the government there,” Kejriwal said delivering his address at the assembly ahead of the trust vote which AAP won.

CBI officials did not find anything from Manish Sisodia, Kejriwal said adding that nothing was found from his residence, his village, his bank locker. “The CBI officials also understood that there is no case. But they are under pressure. They told us that they will have to arrest Sisodia once. Sisodia told them that he will go to the CBI when they want to arrest him,” Kejriwal said.

“The reason of today’s trust vote is to prove that BJP can’t buy everything. They are buying MLAs in every state. They did it in Maharashtra and then they tried the same in Jharkhand. They were ready to buy our 40 MLAs in ₹800 crore and could not buy a single of our MLA,” Kejriwal said.
