Kejriwal vs Shah: A Clash Over Political Accountability in Leadership

In a heated political exchange, former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal lambasted Union Home Minister Amit Shah over the Constitution Amendment Bill on Monday. Kejriwal provocatively questioned the legal repercussions for politicians who allow criminals into their parties, later elevating them to positions of power.

Continuing his criticism, Kejriwal, on the social platform 'X', raised concerns about the responsibility of leaders who dismiss criminal cases against party members, promoting them to ministerial roles. He questioned the accountability of leaders who falsely imprison their rivals, asking what punishment they should face.

Union Home Minister Amit Shah swiftly dismissed Kejriwal's insinuations, reaffirming his stance against the possibility of governance from jail. Citing past controversies, Shah highlighted the gravity of political responsibility and criticized opposition parties for what he sees as double standards in leadership ethics.
