Following his release from detention on Monday, AAP MP Sanjay Singh asserted that the BJP was attempting to tarnish the reputation of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal. He further stated that if he had control over the ED and the CBI, he would be arrest Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union Home Minister Amit Shah, and wealthy industrialist Gautam Adani "within two hours".

On Sunday, Singh and other AAP leaders were detained after staging a demonstration outside the CBI office in support of Sisodia, who was being questioned in connection with the Delhi liquor policy case. Following their release, Singh spoke to ANI and accused the BJP of trying to "defame" Delhi Chief Minister Kejriwal. He confidently asserted that all attempts to discredit Kejriwal and the AAP will be unsuccessful.

"There will soon be an end to PM Modi's dictatorship. He arrested the most popular Education minister (Manish Sisodia) of the country. He is trying to defame Arvind Kejriwal but such acts won't affect his image. It was a cowardly act by the Centre to have Sisodia arrested by the agencies," the AAP MP said.
"Give me ED and CBI, I will arrest Modi, Amit Shah and Adani within two hours. You can do anything when you have the power to misuse probe agencies," Singh added.

According to Delhi Minister Gopal Rai, even if the BJP were to arrest all of the government's ministers, it would have no impact on the government's ability to function and carry out its duties.
"The arrest of Manish Sisodia and the BJP's friendship with Adani are issues that can't be tolerated. Even if they (BJP) arrest all our ministers, our govt will run its course," he said.

The AAP has announced that it plans to stage demonstrations across the country, including in the national capital outside the BJP headquarters, to protest against Sisodia's arrest.
Delhi's Special CP (L&O), Dependra Pathak, has confirmed that appropriate measures have been taken to ensure law and order is maintained during these protests.
"Effective and robust police arrangement is in place on the ground to maintain law and order," he said.

Earlier on Monday, AAP leader Saurabh Bharadwaj claimed that the party leaders, who were detained Sunday, have been arrested and will be produced in court.
"The Centre has broken all limits of democracy. It arrested Manish Sisodia without any proof due to political reasons. You have arrested the entire leadership of our party, except for Arvind Kejriwal and some others. Many of the leaders are detained since last afternoon. Under which sections, are they being detained for so long? The police will produce them in court as they have shown the detainees as being arrested," Bharadwaj told ANI.
He claimed further that the government has arrested the entire leadership of the AAP.
"It is not detention but arrest on the orders of the Centre. The police have arrested our entire leadership. We will protest outside the BJP office today as all the instructions are being given from there," Bhardwaj said.

The CBI on Sunday released a statement on Sisodia's arrest, saying he was giving evasive replies and not cooperating in the investigation. The probe agency also said that Sisodia was earlier called on February 19 for investigation, but had sought a week's time citing preoccupations.
"The Deputy CM was issued a notice under section 41A of CrPC for attending the investigation on February 19, 2023. However, he sought time of one week citing his pre-occupation," the CBI said in its statement.
Shortly before arriving at the CBI office for questioning, Sisodia said false cases were being lodged against party leaders as Prime Minister Narendra Modi was "afraid" of Kejriwal.
