He said, "Amit Shah and Modi ji together hatched the biggest political conspiracy to destroy the Aam Aadmi Party. Five senior party leaders were jailed. The current Chief Minister was dragged from his home and jailed." He reiterated that he has earned only honesty in his life.
Arvind Kejriwal's wife, Sunita Kejriwal, also reacted after the verdict. She said, "Truth always prevails." Party supporters saw this statement as a victory for justice. Party workers were seen celebrating the verdict.
Manish Sisodia said that today he once again felt proud of the country's Constitution and justice system. He said, "Today, truth has prevailed." Sisodia had also maintained his innocence from the beginning and said that this case was fabricated for political reasons.
Legal experts believe that if the investigating agencies wish, they can challenge this decision in the High Court. Currently, this decision has created a new stir in Delhi politics. This is being considered a major political and legal turning point for the Aam Aadmi Party, which could impact the state's politics in the future.
