National Desk, 25th April: Amidst Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s ongoing legal battle, his wife, Sunita Kejriwal, is set to take the reins of the Aam Aadmi Party’s (AAP) Lok Sabha campaign, commencing with roadshows in Delhi beginning this weekend.
The decision comes in light of Arvind Kejriwal’s arrest by the Enforcement Directorate in March on charges of money laundering, leading to his judicial custody extended till May 7.
