Arvind Kejriwal Resigns: Raghav Chadha Talks About Kejriwal’s Decision to Step Down

Mr. Kejriwal’s remarks came two days after his release on bail from Tihar in the Delhi liquor policy corruption case. “Today he (Mr. Kejriwal) decided to give agnipariksha. People of Delhi will prove him honest by voting for the AAP,” Mr. Chadha told reporters.

He invoked actor Amitabh Bachchan’s gesture in the film “Deewar”, stating that the people of Delhi will write on their hands that “Mr. Kejriwal is innocent”. Mr. Kejriwal expressed that he would not sit on the Chief Minister’s chair until the people announce their verdict, emphasizing that elections in Delhi are months away. He mentioned getting justice from the legal court and expressing his determination to seek justice from the people’s court.

He stated, “I will sit on the Chief Minister’s chair only after the order of the people.” Mr. Kejriwal urged the people of Delhi to determine whether he is innocent or guilty and promised that if he has worked, they should vote for him. Additionally, he announced that a meeting of AAP MLAs would be held within the next two days to choose the new Chief Minister for the national capital.

Furthermore, Mr. Kejriwal called for the Assembly elections in the national capital, originally scheduled for early next year, to be held in November along with the polls in Maharashtra.
