AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal becoming the next prime minister is not an individual ambition but the whole country wants it, Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia said on Sunday, days after the CBI raided his residence over alleged irregularities in the excise policy.
‘Ek Mauka Kejriwal Ko’ (One chance for Kejriwal) has become the talk of the nation, Sisodia said in an interview to PTI.
“People see Kejriwal as an alternative to Modi in 2024 because he talks about health, education and employment,” said Sisodia, who is one of the accused in a case registered by the CBI for alleged irregularities in the implementation of the 2021-22 excise policy.

“BJP, CBI, Lieutenant Governor and Chief Secretary of Delhi all have one motive to stop Kejriwal, otherwise the 2024 Lok Sabha elections will slip out of their (BJP’s) hands,” Sisodia said.
The CBI raided 31 places on Friday, including Sisodia’s house, in connection with its probe into the excise policy.
Sisodia said he was not opposed to the probe but demanded that the CBI also probe the “Rs 10,000 crore excise revenue that is stolen every year in Gujarat”.
“it is a dry state and people are dying from consuming fake alcohol. This also needs to be investigated,” he said.
He also added that there should be an inquiry as to why there was a collapse on the Bundelkhand Expressway just five days after it was inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
“If the BJP-led Center is interested in probing fraud in the excise policy, it should investigate who is behind the plot to change the former LG’s position two days before its implementation?” Sisodia said.
