The AAP MP was granted bail on Tuesday by the Supreme Court after the central probe agency said it had no objections in him getting one. “This is the time to struggle. The biggest leaders of our party (AAP) - Arvind Kejriwal, Manish Sisodia and Satyendar Jain - have been kept behind the bars. I am confident that one day the locks of this prison will be broken and they will come out. This is why I want to say that this is not the time to celebrate, this is the time to struggle,” Singh said while acknowledging the crowd of AAP supporters who had gathered outside Tihar jail to welcome him.

Delhi minister Saurabh Bharadwaj said on Singh's release,"Sanjay Singh has clearly said that this is not the time to celebrate but to struggle. The locks of the prison will be broken and Arvind Kejriwal will be released. Our three leaders (Arvind Kejriwal, Manish Sisodia and Satyendar Jain) are still in jail. Therefore, our party will continue to struggle."
