New Delhi, Sep 14 Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal visited the ancient Hanuman Temple in Connaught Place on Saturday, a day after being granted conditional bail by the Supreme Court in the liquor policy case.

He was accompanied by his wife, Sunita Kejriwal, former Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia and Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh, along with other Aadm Aadmi Party (AAP) leaders and workers.

"Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, who was released from prison after breaking the chains of dictatorship, along with his wife Sunita Kejriwal, former Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia, Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh and other AAP leaders, visited and worshipped Lord Bajrangbali at the ancient Hanuman Temple in Connaught Place," the AAP said in a post on X.

The AAP National Convenor will also reach the AAP headquarters shortly, where he is expected to address his party leaders and workers.

Speculation is rife that the Delhi CM may unveil his plans for the Haryana elections and the days ahead during this gathering.

CM Kejriwal was released from Tihar Jail on Friday, hours after the Supreme Court granted him bail.

Upon CM Kejriwal's release, hundreds of enthusiastic AAP workers and leaders who had been waiting for hours for him to come out of prison, even in the driving rain, met him with cheers and slogans like 'Bharat Mata Ki Jai' and 'Vande Mataram'.

While party workers celebrated his release, the Delhi CM thundered that his courage and spirit remain unfazed by the incarceration, and he feels more energised and invigorated to serve the nation.

Slamming the Centre, CM Kejriwal said that prisons won't shackle his resolve and he would be back for the service of the people with greater determination.

"I have been fighting the anti-India forces, and today I vow to step up this fight with greater intensity than before," the AAP chief declared.

Despite his release, the Delhi CM's powers have been significantly limited by the Supreme Court. He has been barred from visiting the Secretariat and signing any official files unless necessary to obtain approval from the Lieutenant Governor.

Additionally, CM Kejriwal has been prohibited from commenting publicly on the merits of the case, interacting with witnesses, or accessing any official files related to the case.

While CM Kejriwal expressed determination to continue serving the nation, his legal battle in the liquor policy case is far from over.
