Launching a direct attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi by calling him “corrupt”, Aam Aadmi Party chief Arvind Kejriwal, in his first public rally after being discharged in the Delhi excise policy case, said the Bharatiya Janata Party’s downfall has started.

“Friends, this is that Jantar Mantar from where people decided to get rid of Congress. Today, this day of Jantar Mantar is a historic day. Note today’s date. From today, the countdown for the BJP’s [downfall] has started,” Mr. Kejriwal said while addressing party workers at Jantar Mantar in the heart of the national capital on Sunday (March 1, 2026).
