Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, who is out on interim bail in the excise policy case, appealed to people to take care of his family when he goes back to jail on June 2. Kejriwal in a video address to the public said that he will go back to jail on June 2 and he is in high spirits. The Delhi CM was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate in March in a money laundering case linked to the alleged Delhi excise policy scam. Kejriwal on Friday said “The Supreme Court had given me 21 days to campaign for the elections. The day after tomorrow I will go back to Tihar Jail. I don't know how long these people will keep me in jail this time. But my spirits are high. I am proud that I am going to jail to save the country from dictatorship. They tried to break me in many ways, tried to silence me, but they did not succeed. When I was in jail, they tortured me in many ways. They stopped my medicines... I don't know what these people wanted. Why did they do this? When I went to jail, my weight was 70 kg, today it is 64 kg. Even after being released from jail, I am not gaining weight. Doctors are saying that this can also be a sign of some serious disease in the body. Many tests need to be done. I will leave my house at around 3 pm to surrender. It is possible that this time they may torture me more, but I will not bow down... Wherever I live, inside or outside. I will not let the work of Delhi stop. Your free electricity, mohalla clinics, hospitals, free medicines, treatment, 24-hour electricity and many other things will continue and after returning I will also start giving Rs 1000 every month to every mother and sister. Today I want to ask something from you for my family. My parents are very old. My mother is very ill. I worry a lot about her in jail. Take care of my parents after me, pray for them..."
