Former Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia has made explosive claims following his acquittal in a high-profile case. Sisodia alleged that the CBI and ED were acting under the influence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, exerting pressure on him to leave Arvind Kejriwal and accept an offer to become Delhi’s Chief Minister. He described the attempts as part of a larger political conspiracy, targeting him and Kejriwal’s anti-corruption and governance initiatives in education and health. Sisodia stated that despite repeated efforts to coerce him, he remained loyal to Arvind Kejriwal and the Aam Aadmi Party’s principles. He emphasized that the court found no evidence against him or his associates, exposing alleged misuse of central investigative agencies for political purposes. Sisodia’s statements have intensified the ongoing debate on the intersection of politics and law enforcement in India. Political analysts suggest the allegations could have significant ramifications ahead of elections in Punjab and Gujarat, potentially reshaping voter sentiment. The statements also reinforce AAP’s narrative of “clean governance” and resilience against political pressure. Sisodia’s comments are expected to spark responses from both opposition and ruling parties, and could dominate political discourse for the coming weeks.
