How Arvind Kejriwal's release from jail gave a fillip to AAP campaign

India Today  

What have I done? “This time, the people are angry,” claims Mahabal Mishra, AAP’s Lok Sabha candidate in the West Delhi seat. Before his bail, the party enlisted Kejriwal’s wife Sunita for over a month to hold massive road shows and invoke Delhi’s love for its “son, brother” who was “unjustly victimised”. What else can they say?” he says, while claiming there are only two electoral issues in Delhi—“Kejriwal’s corruption and 10 years of development carried out by Prime Minister Narendra Modi”. “Kejriwal and AAP’s importance lies in the claim to deliver an alternative model of social welfarist governance,” Dasgupta says.
