NEW DELHI: Sunita Kejriwal , wife of Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal who is lodged in Tihar jail in an alleged corruption case, urged the Haryana voters to elect AAP in the upcoming assembly polls and called the AAP convenor " Haryana ka laal ".

At a rally in the poll-bound state, Sunita Kejriwal stepped up her attack on the ruling BJP, claiming the party "only knew how to break parties and put opposition leaders in jail".

She also attacked the Haryana BJP, alleging that it only wants to "remain in power" and has "no interest" in working for the welfare of society.

"I, your daughter-in-law and your sister, want to ask, will Haryana tolerate this insult? Will you remain quiet and will you not support your son (the Delhi CM)," Sunita Kejriwal said.

The AAP leader further asked people if the people in Haryana saw any improvement in the education and health sectors in the past 10 years.

"Has the condition of government schools improved? Is there any hospital in your area where good medical treatment is provided, free medicines are given," she was quoted as saying by news agency PTI.

"Are you getting free and round-the-clock electricity? There is nothing as such," she said, adding that these facilities are being provided in Delhi and Punjab where the AAP is in power.

Calling Kejriwal's elevation to CM post "no less than a miracle", Sunita Kejriwal said "god wants to get something special" done through him.

"It only knows how to break parties and put opposition leaders in jail. They (BJP) have no interest in working for (the welfare of) the society," she alleged.

She said her husband Arvind Kejriwal was "Haryana ka laal" (son of Haryana), adding that he was born in Siwani village and was brought up in Hisar.

She further said: "Nobody could imagine in their dream that Haryana's son would become Delhi CM," she said, adding, "It is not an ordinary thing and it is not less than a miracle. Arvind ji was born on August 16, 1968. On that day, it was 'Krishna Janmashtami'. I feel that God wants to get something special done through Arvind ji."

He started with zero and he floated his own party and became the chief minister of Delhi in the first election, Sunita Kejriwal added.

Haryana is set to hold its assembly elections in a single phase on October 5, 2024, and the result will be announced on October 8, 2024. The deadline for filing nominations is September 12, followed by scrutiny on September 13. Candidates have until September 16 to withdraw their nominations.

In the last elections in 2019, BJP won 40 seats in Haryana Assembly polls, Congress logged victory on 31 seats, while JJP got 10 seats.
