"Jail Ka Jawab Vote Se": AAP Workers Echo Support During Sunita Kejriwal's Roadshow
52-year-old Kamlesh Jain, a homemaker in East Delhi’s Kalyan Puri, stood outside a sweet store with a poster of arrested Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal in her hands. She was accompanied by her friends Abrisha (35), who was wearing the party’s characteristic headgear, and Rama (70).
On Saturday, April 27, just as the wife of Delhi Chief Minister Sunita Kejriwal waved from a car during her first political roadshow in Delhi, Kamlesh informed – Mrsinghtv:
AAP’s campaign song, “Jail ke Jawab Mein Hum Vote Denge,” was being played over megaphones during Sunita Kejriwal’s ninety-minute roadshow in support of Kuldeep Kumar, the party’s candidate for the East Delhi Lok Sabha seat. The scene included a sea of yellow and blue flags, “We miss you Kejriwal” posters, and more.
Saying, “Your Chief Minister is a sher (lion), nobody can break him or make him bow down,” Sunita stood through a car’s sunroof while the audience chanted, “Jail ka jawab vote sai.” (Will cast votes in response to jail time).
Sunita Kejriwal: “I will vote to remove dictatorship and save democracy.”
With her hands folded, Sunita Kejriwal canvassed for Kumar for a km, pausing twice to give a message to the public that lasted less than five minutes.
She thanked the throngs of fans who had been waiting impatiently for her arrival and claimed that Kejriwal’s imprisonment was a direct result of his dedication to the welfare of Delhi citizens.
Speaking at the forthcoming Lok Sabha elections in Delhi on May 25, she urged people to vote, saying, “We will vote to remove dictatorship and save democracy.“
The Trilokpuri and Kondli Assembly constituencies in East Delhi, both of which have been dominated by the AAP since the party’s initial electoral campaign in 2013, were traversed by Sunita’s roadshow.
This time, the AAP is fielding East Delhi’s Kuldeep Kumar, a sitting Kondli MLA who took part in the roadshow. Harsh Malhotra of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) will oppose Kumar. Currently serving as the constituency’s representative is cricketer-turned-politician Gautam Gambhir.
