Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal: From Anti-Corruption Crusader to Accused in Bribery Case
Arvind Kejriwal, the Chief Minister of Delhi and leader of India's Aam Aadmi Party, was remanded to judicial custody until April 15 in a bribery case.
Kejriwal, who was a tax department officer before entering politics, was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on March 21 for skipping nine summonses for questioning in a case related to changes in the Delhi Excise Policy governing liquor sales.
He spent ten days in ED custody before being sent to Tihar Jail on April 1.
Kejriwal, the acting chief minister of India's capital and head of the AAP party, has been mentioned as a potential prime minister contender despite his denial.
His political ambitions are a topic of discussion among supporters and opponents alike.
Critics label his politics as "soft Hindutva" due to his party's perceived silence on issues like the Delhi riots and Muslim lynchings.
The text mentions that apart from Narendra Modi, Yogi Adityanath is the only other individual mentioned as a potential prime minister of India in political circles.
Yogi Adityanath currently governs Uttar Pradesh, which is the most populous state in India.
He is known for his harder stance on Hindutva, a nationalist ideology that emphasizes the importance of Hindu culture and identity in India.
