Day after acquittal, Kejriwal offers prayers at Hanuman Mandir
Excise policy case: Was accompanied by wife Sunita, Manish Sisodia, other party leaders
A day after the Rouse Avenue Court cleared their names in the excise policy case, AAP national convener and former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, along with former Deputy Chief Minister and Punjab Prabhari Manish Sisodia, offered prayers at the ancient Hanuman Mandir at Connaught Place here on Saturday.
Kejriwal was accompanied by his wife Sunita Kejriwal, former Minister Satyendar Jain, MP Sanjay Singh, MLA Kuldeep Kumar, former MLA Durgesh Pathak and other senior party leaders. The AAP leaders performed rituals at the temple and sought blessings of Lord Hanuman for peace, courage and the well-being of Delhi residents.
Addressing the media after the visit, Arvind Kejriwal said, “With the blessings of the people, Lord Hanuman and the Constitution framed by Babasaheb Ambedkar, all of us have received justice from the court. May God maintain happiness, peace and courage in everyone’s life.”
Manish Sisodia echoed similar sentiments, stating, “Those who have the blessings of Sankatmochan Hanuman cannot be intimidated or defeated.” Former MLA Durgesh Pathak also urged the BJP to admit its “conspiracy and misuse of institutions” and issue an apology to the nation.
The visit drew a large crowd of supporters, with several residents greeting the leaders, taking selfies and offering blessings. Women, in particular, expressed their support, praising the party for standing by the truth despite politically motivated cases.
The temple visit marked a moment of gratitude for AAP leaders, who said the court’s verdict reaffirmed their reputation for integrity and underscored the party’s commitment to truth and public service.
