Delhi minister and AAP leader Saurabh Bharadwaj held a press conference in New Delhi on September 16, 2024, regarding the political scenario in the city. The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has called for early elections in November, putting the decision into the hands of the BJP, the opposition party.
Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal is set to resign on Tuesday, initiating the process to select a new chief minister, with party MLAs convening soon after his resignation is accepted. Bharadwaj emphasized that the chosen candidate will seek formal appointment through the Lieutenant Governor and President, envisioning the oath-taking to occur within a week.
Kejriwal’s resignation is framed as a move to affirm his integrity, demanding early polls to seek a mandate from the public. The BJP criticized the move as a political stunt, urging Kejriwal to dissolve the Delhi Assembly if he truly desires early elections.
Highlighting widespread public interest and support, Bharadwaj likened Kejriwal’s sacrifice to an act of idealism, reminiscent of Lord Ram’s exile. He asserted that this election will center on themes of honesty, with citizens eager for swift elections amid growing resentment against the BJP.
This development initiates a pivotal moment for Delhi’s governance, setting the stage for an election battle underscored by integrity and public trust.
