Atishi spoke on the directions she received from the Delhi CM and said that it brought tears to her eyes as Kejriwal showed concern for the people of Delhi despite his own plight. “When I read these instructions I had tears in my eyes. I thought, what is this person made of, who is not thinking about himself in such an adverse situation, but is thinking about the people of Delhi," Atishi said.

She further added that the chief minister also directed for deploying enough water tankers in areas where there is scarcity to strengthen supply ahead of the approaching summer months. “Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, while in ED custody, has sent instructions to me as the Water Minister - that the water and sewer problems faced by the people of Delhi should be resolved immediately, and adequate water tankers should be arranged in the summer," she wrote in her post. She added that the Delhi CM considers Delhites as a member of his family.

“So being a son, an elder brother, even in custody he is worried 24 hours a day about his family of 2 crore people of Delhi. He is thinking only about the people of Delhi," she said. On 21 March, Kejriwal was arrested by the ED from his official residence in connection with an Delhi excise policy-linked money-laundering case.

Then on 22 March, a Delhi court remanded him to six days ED custody till March 28. Earlier on that day, he had also withdrawn from the SC the plea against his arrest. Kejriwal has said that he will not resign from the Chief Ministerial post and will run Delhi government from the jail.
