Mr Kejriwal, who is out on interim bail till June 1 after he challenged his arrest by the Enforcement in the Supreme Court, voted with his family including wife Sunita for ally Congress candidate Jai Prakash Aggarwal.
“My father, wife and both my children voted. My mother could not come today as she is very ill. I have voted against inflation, and unemployment,” Mr Kejriwal told reporters.
मैंने अपने पिता, पत्नी और बच्चों के साथ आज वोट डाला। मेरी माता जी की तबियत बहुत ख़राब है। वो नहीं जा पाईं। मैंने तानाशाही, बेरोज़गारी और महंगाई के ख़िलाफ़ वोट डाला। आप भी वोट डालने ज़रूर जाएँ। pic.twitter.com/iCot3wOybH
