Manish Sisodia, a senior leader of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and former Deputy Chief Minister of Delhi, has taken on the responsibility of leading the party after his release from jail. As a key strategist within AAP, Sisodia is playing a crucial role in preparing for the Delhi Assembly elections scheduled for February 2025. With Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal currently absent, Sisodia is working tirelessly to rejuvenate the party during this critical time. His role has become even more significant as he leads the campaign efforts and strives to maintain the party's momentum.
Earlier this month, Sisodia was granted bail by the Supreme Court in the corruption and money laundering cases linked to the Delhi liquor policy. The 52-yearold walked out of Tihar Jail after spending 17 months behind bars, providing a much-needed boost to AAP, which has been struggling to recover from the setback of its chief, Arvind Kejriwal, being jailed in a related case.
Since his release, Sisodia has taken charge of the party, stepping in to fill the void left by Kejriwal. Immediately upon his release, he began criticising the BJP-led NDA government, accusing them of making false allegations and attempting to keep AAP leaders in jail to influence the upcoming Delhi elections
