- Opposition parties claim Kejriwal's arrest was politically motivated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government.
- Kejriwal's release followed widespread protests and accusations of misuse of federal investigation agencies against opposition figures.
- The national elections, which began on April 19, are a significant test for Modi’s BJP, facing a strong challenge from Kejriwal's party in key regions.
