Arvind Kejriwal's arrest in a liquor scam case has sparked controversy and debate in India. Can he run the Delhi government from jail? Find out more here!

The recent arrest of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal by the Enforcement Directorate in connection with a liquor scam has sent shockwaves through the political arena just weeks before India's general elections. Kejriwal's party workers are adamant that he can continue to govern from jail, raising questions about the feasibility of such a scenario. The opposition, particularly the BJP, has criticized Kejriwal's defiance, with claims that 'gangs run from jail, not government.' Despite the backlash, Kejriwal shows no intention of resigning as Delhi CM.

Amidst the chaos, a plea has been filed in the Delhi High Court to remove Arvind Kejriwal from his position as the Chief Minister of Delhi. The petition, related to the Delhi excise policy scam case, highlights potential defects and will undergo a hearing once these are addressed. Meanwhile, Kejriwal himself has commended the Enforcement Directorate officials despite his arrest, adding another layer of complexity to the unfolding situation.

In a surprising turn of events, Germany has voiced support for fair and impartial treatment for Arvind Kejriwal, emphasizing the necessity of a just trial. This stance has prompted protests from India, with the Ministry of External Affairs expressing discontent over Germany's interference in the matter. The diplomatic tensions surrounding Kejriwal's case continue to escalate, attracting international attention and scrutiny.

As the controversy unfolds, it remains to be seen how Arvind Kejriwal's trial will progress and what implications it may have on Indian politics. The arrest of a sitting Chief Minister and the subsequent legal battle have thrown the spotlight on the intersection of law, politics, and diplomacy in India. The outcome of this high-profile case could potentially shape the future of governance and accountability in the country.
