Former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal condemned the ruling Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP)  government over his arrest by the Directorate of Enforcement in the ongoing investigation into excise policy case, ANI reported.

Kejriwal, speaking to ANI reporters said, "I asked them (BJP), what did they gain from arresting me? The answer they gave, surprised me. They told me that the Delhi government had been derailed and all the work had stopped. Listening to that answer, I was very upset and shocked. I asked, Was the reason for my arrest just to shut down the Delhi government? Was it to derail the government? Was it to increase the hardships for the public of Delhi?"
