Arvind Kejriwal questions Amit Shah over Constitution Amendment Bill, asks how many years should a person imprisoned for including “criminals” in parties

Former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Monday (August 25, 2025) criticised Union Home Minister Amit Shah over the Constitution Amendment Bill.

Mr. Kejriwal asked how many years of prison a person should face who includes “criminals” in political parties and later makes them PM and CM.

“Should a person who includes criminals of serious crimes in his party, gets all their cases dismissed, and makes them Ministers, Deputy Chief Ministers, or Chief Ministers, also be required to resign from his position? How many years of imprisonment should such a person face?” Arvind Kejriwal wrote on ‘X’.

The former Delhi CM Further hit out at the Union Home Minister, questioning whether a Minister who has been falsely framed and sent to prison, is later acquitted, then how many years of jail should that person face who falsely implicated the minister.

“If someone is falsely implicated in a case, sent to jail, and later acquitted, how many years of imprisonment should the Minister who falsely implicated him face?” Mr. Kejriwal asked.

He further said, “Under a political conspiracy, when the central government framed me in a false case and sent me to jail, I ran the government for 160 days from jail. In the last seven months, the BJP government in Delhi has made such that today the people of Delhi are remembering the government I ran from jail. At least during the jail government, there were no power cuts, water was supplied, free medicines were available in hospitals and mohalla clinics, free tests were conducted.”
