On Friday, an Indian court issued a verdict acquitting Arvind Kejriwal, the former chief minister of Delhi, of all charges in a protracted corruption investigation that he described as a 'political conspiracy' orchestrated by the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Kejriwal, who had served as Delhi’s chief minister before losing in the elections of 2025, had been embroiled in legal troubles since his arrest in March 2024, related to accusations of kickbacks associated with liquor license allocations. His acquittal has significant implications for his political future and the ongoing tensions between the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and the BJP.
