In a recent court appearance, Arvind Kejriwal, embroiled in a liquor scam case, mentioned the names of his government ministers, Atishi Marlena and Saurabh Bhardwaj. This revelation has sparked political controversy, especially as several Aam Aadmi Party leaders are already in jail.
When most of the leaders of Aam Aadmi Party are behind bars in jail. Why were the names of only the leaders who were so active in the party taken, is this some trick of Kejriwal? Does he want to save himself by doing so? or Kejriwal wants his wife Sunita Kejriwal to holad the power ?
Till now, a total of 4 people are behind bars in the liquor scam case, one of them is Vijay Nair. Additional Solicitor General SV Raju has made a big claim that Vijay Nair has been close to Kejriwal, but Kejriwal clearly denied this in court and said that Vijay Nair never reported him, And said that he used to report to Atishi and Saurabh. Let’s get a brief of who Atishi Marlena and Saurabh bharadwaj are .
Who are Atishi Marlena and Saurabh Bhardwaj?
Saurabh Bhardwaj: A three-term MLA from Greater Kailash Assembly of Delhi, Bhardwaj has been actively involved in the party since its inception. He held ministerial positions in key departments during the 49-day Kejriwal government and currently serves as the Deputy Chairman of Delhi Jal Board. Known for his expertise in governance and party affairs, Bhardwaj has garnered praise for his contributions.
Atishi Marlena: Marlena, a prominent figure in the party, contested elections in Delhi against BJP’s Gautam Gambhir in 2019 and secured victory in Kalkaji in 2020. Renowned for her role in shaping the education policy of the Kejriwal government, she has worked closely with Deputy Chief Minister Sisodia. Despite her significant contributions, she has not been appointed as a minister in the Delhi government.
Implications of Kejriwal’s Statements
Kejriwal’s mention of Atishi and Saurabh in court raises questions about his motives. Some speculate whether he aims to implicate them or even his wife, Sunita Kejriwal, who has recently been more visibly involved in political matters. With ongoing arrests related to the liquor scam, the situation remains uncertain for both Atishi and Saurabh.
Sunita Kejriwal’s Emergence
Despite being unrelated to politics, Sunita Kejriwal, Arvind Kejriwal’s wife, has been increasingly active in political discussions. Her alignment with AAP’s stance on various issues has led to speculation about her potential involvement in party affairs. This dynamic has fueled speculation about potential shifts in leadership within the party.
