BJP Leader CR Kesavan Criticizes Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal’s Resignation Plan
Chennai (Tamil Nadu) [India] September 16: A day after Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal announced his intention to resign, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) spokesperson CR Kesavan criticized the move, calling it a “shady stunt.”
Speaking on Monday, Kesavan accused Kejriwal of being the “head of corruption” and trying to deceive the public. He stated, “Kejriwal is the head of corruption. With all the corruption charges against him being the kingpin of the liquor scam, he is afraid to go to the people. In this drama of resignation, he is trying to dupe and cheat the people by going to them.”
Kesavan further claimed that the people of Delhi have lost trust in Kejriwal and will reject him in the next assembly elections. He said, “The people of Delhi do not trust Kejriwal, they are fed up of his tactics and have no faith in him anymore. In the next assembly elections, the public of Delhi will reject him, the same way they rejected him in the Lok Sabha elections.”
Kesavan also condemned Kejriwal for comparing himself to Shaheed Bhagat Singh, a revered freedom fighter. He remarked, “Kejriwal has made a very condemnable statement by drawing a parallel to Shaheed Bhagat Singh. Bhagat Singh was a fearless patriot who personifies courage and sacrifice, Kejriwal is a head of corruption and fraud. His arrest has been deemed legal by the highest Court and he is out on bail. He cannot even go to the Secretariat and he draws a parallel between him and Bhagat Singh.”
Kesavan demanded an apology from Kejriwal for the comparison and criticized his resignation announcement as a tactic to install a puppet regime. He added, “He needs to immediately apologise for drawing a parallel with Bhagat Singh. As far as yesterday’s drama is concerned, if he wanted elections, he should have gone to the LG. His words and actions have no meaning. He is not honest and he has no integrity in his actions. He just wants to install a puppet regime by announcing his resignation. The wise people of our country will not fall to his words. He will be strongly rejected to failure.”
On Sunday, Delhi Chief Minister and AAP national convenor Arvind Kejriwal announced that he would resign from his position after two days and would not return until the public of Delhi declares him “honest.” He also mentioned that if the public votes for him, it will be a certificate of his honesty and called for early polls along with the state of Maharashtra.
