No bar for CM to govern from jail: Atishi

The minister was referring to Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s arrest and the BJP opposing his decision to run the city government from jail.

Describing the Centre’s move as a political conspiracy, she said it was done to undermine democratically elected opposition governments using the enforcement Directorate (ED) to coerce the opposition CMs to resign or face arrest under draconian sections of the PMLA (Prevention of Money Laundering Act).

The BJP, the minister said, is leveraging institutions such as the CBi, eD, and election Commission to target opposition parties and leaders, particularly Arvind Kejriwal, saying Kejriwal is the only leader Narendra Modi fears and sees as a challenger.
