“The War for Delhi” wasn’t just political, it was personal.

In this unfiltered conversation, Aam Aadmi Party spokesperson Jasmine Shah reveals how Delhi’s governance was dismantled, its leaders jailed, and institutions weaponized.

🗣️ "If an elected Chief Minister can be jailed with zero evidence, what hope does a common man have?"

From bureaucracy takeovers to media trials, Shah shares the inside story of power, resistance, and a model of governance that dared to challenge the system.

🔍 Topics include:

  • Arvind Kejriwal’s jail warning to his own party
  • The crackdown on AAP leadership
  • Collapse of the India Alliance
  • What the Delhi Model tried to prove and why it scared the establishment
