The Aam Aadmi Party on Friday hailed the Supreme Court decision granting bail to Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal in the corruption case linked to the excise policy 'scam' as "victory of truth".
The apex court granted bail to Kejriwal in the excise policy case by the Central Bureau of Investigation paving way for his release.
Kejriwal was already granted interim bail in the excise policy linked money laundering case of the Enforcement Directorate by the apex court.
In a post on X, the AAP said, "Satyamev Jayate."
Kejriwal's release from the Tihar Jail will be a shot in the arm for the party as it prepares for the elections in Delhi and Haryana.
Arvind Kejriwal's wife Sunita congratulated the Aam Aadmi Party and wished for the release of other leaders lodged in Tihar jail.
"Congratulations to AAP family! Kudos for staying strong. Wishing also the soonest release of our other leaders," Sunita said in a post on X.
Former deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia, who was recently granted bail in the excise policy cases of the ED and CBI by the apex court, said on X, "Today truth won again in the fight against lies and conspiracies. I once again pay my tribute to the thinking and foresight of Baba Saheb Ambedkar ji, who 75 years ago had strengthened the common man against any future dictator."
Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann hailed the Supreme Court decision, saying "truth has won."
"Finally the truth has won... 'AAP' supremo Arvind Kejriwal has been granted bail by the honourable Supreme Court... The bail granted to Kejriwal has proved that the truth can never be suppressed," Mann said in a post on X.
AAP Rajya Sabha MP Raghav Chadha thanked the apex court on the decision.
In a post on X, Delhi Minister Atishi said, "Satyamev Jayate. Truth can be troubled, not defeated."
AAP Rajya Sabha MP Harbhajan Singh also welcomed Kejriwal's release, saying "he will continue to dedicate himself to serve the people".
"Glad that our beloved leader Shri @ArvindKejriwal Ji got bail in Supreme Court. This will definitely rejuvenate the party workers and give wings to @AamAadmiParty campaign in Haryana. He will continue to dedicate himself to serve the people," Singh said in a post on X.
