AAP heaps praises on jailed leader
The AAP also posted several videos on its social media handles praising Sisodia for his work as education minister of the national capital.
In one of the posts, the Delhi-based party wrote, "Salute to 'Manish Sisodia', the father of education revolution in India. It is the misfortune of the country that the best education minister of the country is in jail for 1 year, and all the corrupt are in BJP. Manish ji, stay strong, the prayers of the children of the country are with you."

Sisodia was apprehended by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on February 26 of the previous year and by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on March 9, 2023.
