Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal announced his intention to resign within two days following the selection of a new AAP candidate for the position. Addressing party workers at the AAP headquarters on September 15, 2024, Kejriwal called for early elections in Delhi, proposing they be held in November alongside Maharashtra’s elections, rather than waiting until February.
Kejriwal emphasized his commitment to integrity, stating he would only return to the CM’s chair after receiving a “certificate of honesty” from Delhi’s electorate. He critiqued the BJP for its aversion to AAP’s transparent governance, attributing AAP’s success to its honesty.
Drawing inspiration from freedom fighters, Kejriwal compared his imprisonment to that of Bhagat Singh, highlighting the denial of visits from colleagues. He also expressed optimism regarding the release of AAP members Satyendar Jain and Amanatullah Khan, who remain incarcerated. This significant political development underscores AAP’s strategy and Kejriwal’s emphasis on public validation of his leadership.
