Elated AAP workers celebrate early Holi in Delhi
Play with ‘gulaal’, distribute ‘gujiya’ at AAP headquarters
The iconic “Rang De Basanti Chola” song that used to play in AAP rallies and roadshows returned to the party’s headquarters at 1 Pandit Ravi Shankar Shukla Lane as party workers and senior leaders gathered to celebrate early Holi after a Delhi court discharged Arvind Kejriwal, Manish Sisodia and others in the alleged excise policy scam.
The party workers danced in celebration and played Holi as it was a big victory for them.
AAP Delhi chief Saurabh Bharadwaj, along with Vishesh Ravi, Ghanendra Bhardwaj and several other leaders, reached the party headquarters. A large number of workers also gathered there.
Saurabh Bharadwaj and other leaders also joined in the celebrations, and everyone played with ‘gulaal’ and congratulated one another at the party office. Workers danced to dhol beats, distributing ladoos and gujiya among visitors and raising slogans such as ‘Arvind Kejriwal Zindabad.’
Inside the house, Kejriwal was seen hugging his wife and children, while former deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia, who was among those discharged, was also part of the celebrations.
Arvind Kejriwal, who arrived at the party headquarters, was showered with flowers and offered garlands.
The entire area reverberated with slogans of “Babasaheb aur Bhagat Singh Ka Sapna Adhoora, Kejriwal Karega Poora” and “Inquilab Zindabad” as the volunteers danced to the tune of AAP’s Punjab poll theme song “Ikk Mauka Kejriwal Nu Ikk Mauka Bhagwant Mann Nu”.
“Since Day 1, we knew that the Centre is framing our top brass leadership and justice was served today,” said Kamal Tiwari, senior Vice-President of the ASAP, youth wing of AAP.
“Today it is a day to celebrate, truth and honesty win. The fake case that Narendra Modi and Amit Shah tried to create through ED has been exposed,” another party worker said. Workers not only from Delhi, but also from Gujarat, Punjab, Haryana, Uttarakhand and Uttar Pradesh gathered at 1 Pandit Ravi Shankar Shukla Lane. Earlier in the day, emotional Kejriwal asserted that the corruption case against him was the “biggest political conspiracy” in the history of Independent India.
