Kejriwal is an expert in lying-Anurag Thakur
Anurag Thakur, while answering questions of media persons regarding Arvind Kejriwal, said that his face has been exposed once again. He is an expert in lying and it is clearly visible that he can do a road show in 47 degree temperature but asks for bail on the pretext of ill health. This was shown by the media as well as in the court.
No relief from Supreme Court
Actually, Arvind Kejriwal had requested the Supreme Court to extend his bail period by seven more days on the basis of health reasons. But the Supreme Court registry refused to extend his interim bail period. The Supreme Court registry said that Kejriwal is free to file a bail petition in the trial court. It is clear that Kejriwal will have to surrender by June 2.
Kejriwal’s plea said that he has lost weight suddenly and his ketone level is “very high”, which is a possible indicator of serious kidney, heart disease and even cancer. In view of this, he had requested to extend his interim bail period by seven days to undergo some medical tests including “PET-CT scan”. Kejriwal has said in his plea filed on May 26 that he wants to surrender on June 9 instead of June 2, the date set by the court to return to jail.
On May 10, the Supreme Court granted Kejriwal interim bail for 21 days till June 1 to campaign for the Lok Sabha elections. The apex court had directed that Kejriwal surrender on June 2. A day before this, on June 1, the seventh and final phase of the Lok Sabha elections is to be voted. Arvind Kejriwal was arrested by the ED in the money laundering case related to the Delhi liquor scam.
