In the days leading up to the counting date, Arvind Kejriwal was buoyed by the belief that he would once again assume the mantle of Chief Minister of Delhi. On the pivotal voting day, he meticulously crafted a grand spectacle to unveil his presence at the polling booth, surrounded by adoring supporters and eager fans source says. Every detail had been orchestrated down to the last moment—television and print media were primed and ready to capture the unfolding drama, as sources indicated.
From the crack of dawn, a throng of media personnel congregated outside his residence on Firoz Shah Road, vying for a glimpse of the political leader in action. In a poignant move, two brand-new wheelchairs were arranged to transport his ailing parents, further orchestrating a heartstring-pulling narrative. As the day progressed, whispers began to circulate. Some figures in Kejriwal’s circle suggested that his moment in the spotlight might diminish amid the anticipated spectacle of the Prime Minister’s ceremonial dip at Sangam source says.
Unfazed and determined to remain the center of attention, Kejriwal astutely adjusted his timeline, opting to embark on his journey to the polling booth after the Prime Minister's event concluded source says. With thoughtful care, he wheeled his mother alongside him while his son assisted his father. His wife, a steadfast presence, accompanied them, creating an image of family unity amidst the political fray. The media, true to form, delivered the coverage he so skillfully curated, showcasing the touching tableau for all to see source says. Yet, this carefully constructed narrative sparked confusion among onlookers.
Many found it hard to reconcile the sight of his parents in wheelchairs with the image of them taking leisurely strolls together in the nearby park just hours earlier.
