The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has announced that Sunita Kejriwal, the wife of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, will hold roadshows in Delhi ahead of the Lok Sabha polls. This move comes as AAP’s campaigning has been impacted by Arvind Kejriwal’s arrest in a money laundering case in March.
Sunita is slowly emerging out of the shadows to assume a bigger role to give a fillip to AAP’s campaigning.
AAP is contesting the Lok Sabha polls in alliance with Congress in Delhi, with candidates fielded in four seats, while Congress is contesting in three seats.

“Today, we are standing near the metro station along with Somnath Bharti who is the candidate from the New Delhi Lok Sabha seat with a hoarding that reads ‘Jail ka jawab vote se.’”
