New Delhi, September 15
Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Sunday gave indication that he would not continue in office and resign in the next two days.
Kejriwal, who was granted bail two days ago, was addressing party workers on Sunday and asserted that he would resign as Delhi Chief Minister in next two days. He also demanded an early election in Delhi.
“I did not enter politics to play the game of politics and money. I will go to the public and ask them what do they think: am I an honest man or an accused,” Kejriwal said. He said the next CM would be decided after a meeting of party MLAs. He said that along with him, Sisodia will also go to the public and he will also not be vying for the CM’s post.
“We will go to the court of people to prove our innocence,” the Delhi Chief Minister said. “Some people say that we will not be able to work because of restrictions imposed by the Supreme Court. If you think I am honest, vote for me in large numbers. I will sit in the CM’s chair only after being elected,” he added.
The Delhi CM called for early election in Delhi in November along with other state assembly elections.
“The elections are supposed to be held in February. I demand that these be held in November with the Maharashtra elections,” he said.
“Why did they (BJP) send me to jail? They know very well that I haven’t committed any corruption. Their goal was to break AAP and crush my spirit. They thought that by sending me to jail, the party would fall apart and they could form a BJP government in Delhi. But our party didn’t break. AAP is standing strong against their conspiracies,” he added.
