Arvind Kejriwal, after being released from Tihar Jail on bail, has built a political narrative, claiming that he was framed in false cases. He urges the public to re-elect him, viewing it as a response to these allegations. However, using political power to counter legal actions is not new. Many leaders have claimed conspiracies in the past.
Kejriwal's strategy is unique as it challenges central agencies and the judiciary. His approach raises concerns about conflating electoral victories with innocence. Legal cases aren't dismissed by election results.
Political news shows how past leaders, despite winning elections, were convicted later. Even if Kejriwal's party wins the upcoming election, it won’t nullify the allegations. Judicial proceedings will continue regardless of the political outcome.
This intertwining of politics with legal battles is setting a dangerous precedent, where public sympathy might be leveraged to evade accountability.
