Ahead of surrendering at Tihar jail, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Sunday addressed Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) workers and said that he was going back to jail not because he was involved in corruption but because he raised my voice against the dictatorship.

Kejriwal also held a meeting with the members of the Political Affairs Committee of Aam Aadmi Party.

On May 10, the Supreme court granted Kejriwal 21 days interim bail to campaign for Lok Sabha elections, and asked him to surrender on June 2.

Here's what Kejriwal told party workers before surrendering

1) The Supreme Court granted me bail for 21 days to campaign for elections. I want to thank SC for that. Today, I am going to Tihar Jail again. I did not waste even a minute of those 21 days.

2) I did not campaign only for AAP but for various parties. I went to Mumbai, Haryana, UP, Jharkhand, Bhiwandi, Jamshedpur. AAP is not important. AAP is secondary. For us, the country is important.

3) During Lok Sabha election campaigning, the PM accepted that they don't have any proof against me.

4) I want to tell the people of Delhi - your son is returning to jail today.

5) Your son is not going to jail because he is involved in any corruption, but because he raised his voice against the dictatorship.

6) I don't know when I will return after going to jail this time. I don't know what they will do with me. But I don't care. They can do whatever they want.

7) Bhagat Singh said that when power becomes a dictatorship, then jail becomes a responsibility. Bhagat Singh was hanged to free the country. This time when I am going to jail.

8) Every drop of my blood is for the country. If Bhagat Singh was hanged, I am also ready to be hanged.

9) Take it in writing, all these exit polls are fake. One exit poll gave 33 seats to the BJP in Rajasthan, whereas there are only 25 seats there.

10) The BJP is not forming a govt on June 4. Exit polls are mind games to put you (Candidates) in depression, discourage. This election is not about any party or leader, but to save this country.
