    'Coming to BJP office tomorrow': Kejriwal after aide's arrest

    What's the story

    Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has announced a "jail bharo" program following the arrest of his aide, Bibhav Kumar.

    Kejriwal said the protest will take place on Sunday at the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) headquarters at 12:00pm, with all Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leaders in attendance.

    The Delhi Police arrested Kumar on Saturday following allegations by AAP leader Swati Maliwal that he assaulted her at the chief minister's residence on May 13.

    Arrest concerns

    Kejriwal questions motives behind AAP members' arrests

    "It is now clear that these people are after the Aam Aadmi Party. They put Sanjay Singh in jail. Today they arrested my PA (Kumar). Raghav Chadha has returned from London; some are saying they will arrest Raghav Chadha too. Then there are Atishi and Saurabh Bharadwaj too," Kejriwal said.

    The Delhi chief minister questioned, "What did we do wrong? Our crime was that we developed government schools, government hospitals."

    Direct address

    Kejriwal challenges PM Modi over AAP arrests

    Kejriwal directly addressed Prime Minister Narendra Modi regarding the arrests, saying, "Pradhan Mantri ji, stop this jail-jail game."

    "Tomorrow at 12 noon, I will be coming to the BJP headquarters with all my leaders—MLAs, MPs," he said.

    He further challenged, "Arrest whoever you want. Put us in jail together."

    Kejriwal emphasized that the AAP is an idea, and arresting its members would only spread this idea further.

    Bail

    Kejriwal currently out on bail

    Kejriwal is currently out on bail after spending nearly two months in jail following his arrest by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in a money-laundering case linked to the scrapped Delhi excise policy.

    He will have to go back to jail on June 2.

    Since his arrest, he has challenged it, calling it "illegal."

    On Friday, the ED named both Kejriwal and AAP as accused in the seventh supplementary chargesheet.
