Sunita Kejriwal’s First Election Roadshow in East Delhi
Notably, Sunita Kejriwal is leading the AAP’s Lok Sabha election campaign in the absence of her husband. Sunita performed her first Lok Sabha election roadshow on Saturday in East Delhi’s Kondli neighborhood.
According to senior AAP leaders, Sunita Kejriwal will lead the party’s electoral campaign and hold roadshows while her husband, AAP national convenor Arvind Kejriwal, remains in Delhi’s Tihar jail following his arrest in an alleged money laundering case by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) linked to the purported excise policy “scam” case.
