'Campaigning not fundamental right': ED opposes bail for Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal

Friday, 10 May 2024
In its affidavit, ED said SC, while rejecting bail to another excise case accused, former Delhi deputy CM Manish Sisodia, had said, "Rule of law means that laws apply equally to all citizens, including the state. Rule of law also mandates objective and fair treatment to all." ED said campaigning for a party was neither a fundamental nor a constitutional right and not even a legal right. A person in custody has no right to even cast his/her vote, it said, adding that the agency did not know of any instance of a political leader being granted interim bail for campaigning even though not contesting elections.

AAP Releases Final Candidate List for Delhi Elections: Kejriwal to Face High-Stakes Battle in Delhi

The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has unveiled its fourth and final list of 38 candidates for the upcoming Delhi Assembly elections. Arvind Kejriwal, the party's chief, will once again contest from the high-profile New Delhi constituency, a seat he won in 2013 and 2015. This marks a crucial moment in the Delhi political landscape, with intense competition expected, particularly with Congress fielding Sandeep Dikshit, son of the late Sheila Dikshit. As AAP makes its final preparations, the battle for Delhi intensifies with significant strategic shifts, including the replacement of several sitting MLAs. #AAP #DelhiElections2025 #ArvindKejriwal #NewDelhiConstituency #DelhiPolitics #ElectionBattle #AAPFinalList #SandeepDikshit #DelhiAssembly #PoliticalRivalries #DelhiPolls #IndianPolitics #ElectionUpdates
