Delhi BJP Leaders Hold Protest Amid Kejriwal’s Resignation

Delhi BJP workers on Wednesday staged a protest near the AAP headquarters on DDU Marg. The workers demanded the resignation of Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal in connection with the alleged excise scam.

Meanwhile, Delhi Police detained several BJP workers who were protesting.

During the protest, police used water canons against the BJP workers, who were trying to overpass the barricades.

The protest comes a day after Kejriwal’s plea against his arrest was rejected by the Delhi High Court on Tuesday.

LoP Delhi Assembly, Ramvir Singh Bidhuri said, “Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal should resign from the position of CM. A government cannot be run from jail as the protocols of jail does not allow that.”

“If Arvind Kejriwal does not accord his resignation letter, then the law will take its own course,” he added.

BJP leader Kapil Mishra stated, “The kind of statement the High Court made yesterday, never before such remark was made against any CM by any court.”

“By hiding behind the CM’s position, he wanted to escape from the probe which cannot happen,” he added.

Earlier on Wednesday, the Delhi Court dismissed the plea moved by Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal. The plea sought direction to increase the number of legal meetings with his lawyers from two to five times a week.

Through the plea, Kejriwal stated that as he is facing multiple FIRs in various states, a lot of legal work takes place.

The Special Judge Kaveri Baweja on Wednesday passed the order and decided to dismiss it.
