He praised the resilience of AAP supporters, stating that \u201cstorms, pressures, and agencies could not extinguish their spirit.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Allegations Against BJP and Central Agencies<\/h3>\n<p>In his address, Sisodia accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of misusing central agencies like the CBI and ED to suppress political opposition. He alleged that AAP leaders, including Arvind Kejriwal, Satyendar Jain, and others, were \u201cfalsely implicated and jailed\u201d to stop the party\u2019s growing influence in states like Himachal Pradesh.<\/p>\n<p>Referring to the arrest of Satyendar Jain, Sisodia claimed it was politically motivated and aimed at halting AAP\u2019s momentum ahead of the Himachal elections. He also spoke about his own arrest, calling it \u201cbaseless\u201d and part of a larger attempt to intimidate leaders working on education reforms.<\/p>\n<h3>\u2018AAP Could Have Formed Government in Himachal\u2019<\/h3>\n<p>Sisodia asserted that four years ago, there was a strong wave in Himachal Pradesh against the BJP due to alleged corruption, and people were looking towards AAP as an alternative.

He alleged that while political leaders prosper, the common people of Himachal continue to struggle with poor education, healthcare, and lack of employment opportunities.<\/p>\n<p>He also raised concerns about the state\u2019s financial condition, claiming that rising debt has affected the government\u2019s ability to pay salaries and deliver services effectively.<\/p>\n<h3>Call for Grassroots Movement<\/h3>\n<p>Sisodia urged party workers to shift focus from personal political ambitions to public service.
