New Delhi: A top opponent of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi urged his compatriots to resist "dictatorship" on Saturday, after the country's top court provisionally released him from jail to campaign in national elections.
Arvind Kejriwal, chief minister of the capital Delhi and a key leader in an opposition alliance formed to compete against Modi in the polls, was granted bail on Friday after weeks in custody.
He is among several leaders of the bloc under criminal investigation, with his party describing his arrest as a "political conspiracy" orchestrated by the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) to sideline opponents.
In a defiant press conference the day after his release, Kejriwal said the outcome of the election would determine whether India remained a democracy.
"I have come to beg 1.4 billion people to save my country," he said. "Save my country from this dictatorship."
