Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal ignores ED summons embarks on Gujarat visit amidst controversy

It seems that Kejriwal doesn't want controversy to leave him as he has been skipping ED summons. Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal is set to visit Gujarat starting tomorrow for a two-day trip. Originally planned for three days, his schedule was altered due to the Delhi budget. Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann will accompany Kejriwal during the visit.

Is Kejriwal Taking court summons lightly?

It has been reported that despite receiving summons from the Enforcement Directorate (ED), Kejriwal has chosen to go on a trip to Gujarat instead of responding to the summons. This action reflects a contradiction with Kejriwal's previous statements. In 2012, he expressed his views on corrupt leaders not cooperating with ED and CBI investigations, stating that they should resign when allegations are made.

During his stay in Gujarat, Kejriwal is expected to participate in a public meeting supporting tribal leader Chaitrabhai Vasava. Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann will also attend the rally scheduled for January 7 in Netrang. Afterward, they will proceed to Vadodara on January 7 afternoon, where Kejriwal will hold an election review meeting with Lok Sabha constituency leaders at 7 pm.

Regarding AAP's involvement in legal issues, several MLAs, including Amanatullah Khan, Naresh Yadav, Akhilesh Pati Tripathi, Mahendra Yadav, Jagdeep Singh, Surinder Singh, Manoj Kumar, Dinesh Mohnia, Sharad Chauhan, Prakash Jarwal, Dr. Balbir Singh, Amit Ratan Kotfatta, have faced imprisonment.

Kejriwal is also expected to meet with jailed Chaitar Vasava during his visit. Vasava is accused of assaulting and threatening a government employee of the forest department in Narmada district. The Aam Aadmi Party is actively preparing for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections, even as some of its leaders, like Visavadar MLA Bhupat Bhayani, have recently resigned and joined the Bharatiya Janata Party.
