How Opposition BJP, Congress Responded To Arvind Kejriwal’s Sunday Shocker

New Delhi: 

Shortly after Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal announced that he would resign within two days and seek justice in the “people’s court”, the BJP hit back, questioning if this decision was due to a “rift” in Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) that its leader cannot handle. 

BJP MP Sudhanshu Trivedi and Delhi BJP chief Virendraa Sachdeva slammed the Delhi Chief Minister and alleged that his corruption has hollowed out governance in the national capital.

“You didn’t resign when in jail, but are now announcing that you will resign in 48 hours? People want to know the mystery behind these 48 hours. You don’t have to discharge duties of the Chief Minister, why do you need 48 hours?” Mr Trivedi asked.

The Supreme Court on Friday granted bail to Mr Kejriwal in a corruption case linked to Delhi’s now-scrapped liquor policy, six months after his arrest. The court has, however, imposed several conditions on the AAP leader. He cannot enter the Chief Minister’s office and sign official documents unless necessary to obtain the Lieutenant Governor’s sanctions.
