Out from jail after spending 6 months in Tihar in a corruption case linked with formulation of Delhi liquor policy, Arvind Kejriwal announced his resignation from CM’s chair.
Addressing party workers at office of Delhi Chief Minister, Arvind Kejriwal announced that he will step down the CM Chair within two days.
He informed the public that some other leader from the Aam Aadmi Party will reign the nation capital till the Assembly elections takes place. Kejriwal has also demanded the early election in November 2024 instead of February 2025. Kejriwal affirmed that he will only accept the post of Chief Minister once people certify his honesty in upcoming Delhi Assembly polls.

Clearing the air on the estimation of Manish Sisodia becoming the next Chief Minister of Delhi, Kejriwal said that he and Sisodia will go into the court of people.
“I am ready for Agni Pariksha”, said Kejriwal, adding, “Two days later, I will resign as Chief Minister. I will not sit on that chair till the people announce their verdict. Elections in Delhi are months away.”
“After 2-3 days there will be a meeting in which we will decide the CM. I and Manish Sisodia are going to ‘Janta ki adalat’ and our future is in your hands. I urge you all to vote for me if I am honest, if not then please don’t. If the Centre questions why a government cannot function from prison, I have proven it can. I now appeal to all non-BJP Chief Ministers to not resign if falsely imprisoned by the PM. We must not resign under any circumstances. Running a government from jail is possible if we all work together. It’s not about our greed for power or the importance of the CM’s position to us. What matters is our Constitution, our country, and preserving democracy,” said Kejriwal.
