AAP's Haryana unit chief Sushil Gupta said the party will now campaign with "double energy".
Having been granted bail to campaign for the Lok Sabha elections earlier this year, Delhi Chief Minister and Arvind Kejriwal will be released from jail again just ahead of the Assembly elections in Haryana, which is being seen as a big boost for the AAP in a state where it is hoping to do well.
The party erupted in joy after a Supreme Court granted him bail in the Delhi excise policy case on Friday, noting that his "prolonged incarceration amounts to unjust deprivation of liberty", and the AAP Haryana handle posted a video of Mr Kejriwal with a fire emoji, writing: "He is back".
AAP's Haryana unit chief Sushil Gupta said Mr Kejriwal would campaign in the state, adding that the people are looking for a change. "We will now fight the polls with double energy. Kejriwal ji will soon start his campaign in Haryana," he was quoted as saying by news agency PTI.
