At Ranchi's 'show of strength' rally, INDIA bloc terms BJP as 'anti-tribal'

Empty chairs for Kejriwal, Hemant Soren at INDIA bloc's mega rally

In a show of strength and unity, INDIA bloc leaders gathered in the capital city of Jharkhand on Sunday with the focus remaining on the two key jailed leaders — Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and former Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren. They alleged that BJP considers tribals as untouchables.

As the leaders congregated in the capital of Jharkhand, two empty chairs marked for Kejriwal and Hemant Soren on the stage did not go unnoticed. Both Kejriwal and Hemant Soren’s wives were present at the mega rally and also addressed the gathering.

Jailed Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s wife Sunita Kejriwal accused the BJP-led central government of denying insulin to her diabetic husband and alleged that it wants to kill him.

She asserted that the Opposition INDIA bloc will fight against the “dictatorship” of the BJP and win in the ongoing Lok Sabha elections.

“They want to kill my husband Arvind Kejriwal. His food is under camera observation; he is denied insulin. My husband is a sugar patient who has been on insulin for the last 12 years; he needs 50 units of insulin daily,” Sunita said at the Ulgulan Nyay Rally.

She claimed that her husband was jailed for working for the people and no charges could be proved against him.

“We will fight against dictatorship and win. The gates of jail will break and Arvind Kejriwal and Hemant Soren will come out," she said.
