Kejriwal announces resignation, demands early polls

September 15, 2024

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Sunday said he will resign after two days and would demand early polls in Delhi as he vowed not to sit in CM's chair till people give him a 'certificate of honesty'.

Kejriwal, who was released on bail from Tihar on Friday in the excise policy corruption case, said, "I will only sit on CM's chair after people give me a certificate of honesty. Want to give 'agnipariksha' after coming out of jail."

"I will become chief minister, Sisodia deputy CM only when people say we are honest," he said.  -- PTI
