Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) supremo and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Sunday declared jailed MLA Chaitar Vasava as the party’s candidate from the Bharuch seat for the upcoming Lok Sabha polls.
He challenged the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) to “cage a lion” like Vasava and said the Dediapada MLA would contest the Bharuch Lok Sabha seat even in absentia, Indian Express reported.
A local court in Dediapada in Narmada district on December 18 sent Chaitar to judicial custody at the end of the three-day police remand in the November 2 case of alleged extortion and assault of forest officials.

Kejriwal said, “I want to announce that Chaitar Vasava will contest the Lok Sabha polls from Bharuch Parliamentary constituency… By the time the polls are here, Chaitar will be out. We have hired the most expensive and topmost lawyers for Chaitar Vasava and his wife Shakuntala.”

“On January 20, Shakuntalaben’s bail plea will be heard by the Supreme Court and we are hopeful that she will be granted bail. But in case, the BJP does not allow him to come out of prison by using their tactics, it will be your responsibility to make him win. Take his photo and go to each house… The BJP should lose its deposit from this seat,” he added.
Kejriwal urged the tribal community to ‘avenge the insult’ and likened the BJP to “worse than dacoits” for imprisoning Chaitar ‘s wife Shakuntala.
