Trivandrum- In a significant development, Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan has highlighted the profound impact of the Supreme Court's decision to grant interim bail to Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal. He views the verdict as a decisive response to the Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP) covert attempts to undermine democratic processes through the misuse of power.
Vijayan underscores the far-reaching implications of this ruling on the nation's democratic landscape and its crucial influence on the upcoming Lok Sabha elections. He stresses the futility of authoritarian tactics in silencing dissent indefinitely, citing the BJP's move to incarcerate a chief minister for opposing the central government as a violation of democratic norms.
Furthermore, Vijayan criticizes the Narendra Modi government's reluctance to engage directly with the electorate, pointing to the Supreme Court's decision as a rebuke to the BJP's misguided belief that public sentiment could be swayed through divisive strategies and suppression of opposition voices.
As the election campaign progresses, Vijayan observes a decline in the BJP's popularity, attributing it to their apparent desperation. He asserts that the verdict not only invalidates the central government's questionable actions but also serves as a caution against the misuse of agencies like the Enforcement Directorate (ED) for political gains.
In conclusion, Vijayan expresses optimism for Arvind Kejriwal's renewed commitment to the democratic struggle following his release. He reiterates the importance of upholding democratic values in the face of authoritarian inclinations.
