 "Arvind Kejriwal vows to resign as Delhi CM, challenging the public’s verdict on his honesty before resuming power.")
Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal announced he will resign in two days and will not return to his position until the public votes on his honesty. He stated that if the people of Delhi believe in his integrity, they should support him in the upcoming elections, expressing a desire for early polls alongside Maharashtra’s elections. Kejriwal, recently released from Tihar Jail following a Supreme Court bail in a corruption case, emphasized that he would visit households to seek the public’s verdict. He also criticized the central government for allegedly targeting opposition leaders with legal cases following electoral defeats, urging non-BJP chief ministers to remain steadfast in their roles.
In a dramatic move, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal announced that he plans to resign from his position in two days. He stated that he will not return to his role unless the people of Delhi declare him “honest.” This announcement comes shortly after his release from Tihar Jail, where he spent time related to a corruption case involving the Delhi Excise Policy.
During a meeting at the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) office, Kejriwal expressed his intention to seek early elections, ideally aligning them with upcoming polls in Maharashtra. He emphasized the importance of the public’s verdict on his leadership. “If you think I am honest, vote for me in the elections. Your vote will serve as a certificate of my honesty,” Kejriwal told party workers.
Kejriwal’s comments also included a criticism of the central government, accusing it of strategically filing cases against opposition leaders in states where the BJP has lost elections. He urged other non-BJP Chief Ministers to remain steadfast amidst legal challenges and avoid resigning under pressure.
As he prepares for potential early elections, Kejriwal reiterated that until his credibility is restored through the public’s vote, he will not assume the Chief Minister’s chair. The political landscape in Delhi appears poised for significant changes as the AAP gears up for the forthcoming elections.
