New Delhi, May 10: The Aam Aadmi Party has asked its Delhi MLAs, councillors and workers to reach Tihar to "welcome" Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal after his release from jail on interim bail, party leader Gopal Rai said on Friday. Kejriwal's wife Sunita has left her residence for Tihar to receive her husband.

In a major relief to Kejriwal, the Supreme Court on Friday granted him interim bail till June 1 to campaign in the Lok Sabha elections. Kejriwal, arrested in a money laundering case linked to the alleged Delhi excise policy scam, will have to surrender and go back to jail on June 2. June 1 is the last day of the seven-phase elections. The votes will be counted on June 4. Arvind Kejriwal Gets 21-Day Bail: Supreme Court Asks Delhi CM To Not Visit His Office or Secretariat, Among Other Conditions.
