AAP’s Sandeep Pathak Accuses BJP of Targeting Arvind Kejriwal; Atishi Proposed as Interim CM

Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MP Sandeep Pathak has accused the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of attempting to arrest former Delhi Chief Minister and AAP national convener Arvind Kejriwal to force his resignation and break the party. Pathak stated, “The BJP’s goal was to arrest Arvind Kejriwal, get his resignation and break the Aam Aadmi Party. Now Arvind Kejriwal is out, the party did not break and the whole plan of the BJP flopped.”

Pathak added that Kejriwal, who was granted bail by the court, resigned due to his morals and principles. He will not return to the Chief Minister’s chair until he receives a clean chit from the people. The party has proposed Atishi’s name for the interim period.

Atishi, a prominent AAP leader, expressed her mixed feelings about the trust placed in her by the outgoing CM Kejriwal and his resignation. Atishi, 43, has played a significant role in improving education in government-run schools in Delhi. She aims to bring Kejriwal back as Chief Minister after the upcoming assembly polls.

Atishi will be the third woman Chief Minister of Delhi, following Sushma Swaraj and Sheila Dikshit. Kejriwal was released from Tihar Jail on September 14 after the apex court granted him bail in the Delhi excise policy case. The court imposed conditions on his release, including refraining from public comments about the case and attending all trial court hearings unless exempt.
