New Delhi: 

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's wife Sunita Kejriwal- who entered the political battleground with fiery speeches at INDIA bloc's rallies last month - will now lead the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP)'s campaign for the Lok Sabha elections in Delhi and other states.

Sunita Kejriwal will hold a mega roadshow in the national capital today in support of AAP's East Delhi candidate Kuldeep Kumar.

 "In protest against the arrest of Arvind Kejriwal, his wife Sunita Kejriwal will campaign to seek blessings for him and to seek votes for AAP candidates. She will seek blessings for him from the people of Delhi, Punjab, Gujarat and Haryana," Delhi Minister Atishi announced yesterday.Ms Kejriwal is gradually assuming a bigger role in the party to give a boost to the AAP's campaigning, which has been affected by the Chief Minister's arrest in March, party sources said.

AAP Minister Saurabh Bharadwaj said that Ms Kejriwal is the best person to keep the party together in the prevailing circumstances and asserted that her presence has had a "positive effect" on the party workers.
