The Supreme Court declined to address the Enforcement Directorate's request for action against Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal concerning his campaign speeches, expressing a lack of interest.

The ED criticized Kejriwal's statement implying he would avoid returning to jail if people voted for the INDIA bloc, deeming it disrespectful to the legal system. Kejriwal's assertion that he wouldn't return to Tihar Jail on June 2 if the INDIA bloc won in the Lok Sabha elections on June 4 drew objections from the ED, which questioned how he could make such statements.

Justice Sanjiv Khanna emphasized that the court's ruling dictates when Kejriwal must surrender, without exception. Kejriwal, arrested in connection with a money laundering case related to the alleged Delhi excise policy scam, received temporary bail from the Supreme Court to campaign in the elections, with a requirement to surrender on June 2.

Kejriwal's emotional appeal during rallies, recounting his arrest and lack of insulin in jail, included statements about his return depending on the INDIA bloc's victory, as he said he'd be watching the results from jail on June 4 and aiming to return on June 5.
