Uttar Pradesh Deputy CM Brajesh Pathak Criticizes Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal’s Resignation Statement
Lucknow (Uttar Pradesh) [India], September 15: Uttar Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Brajesh Pathak criticized Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Sunday over his recent statement about resigning as the Delhi CM in two days. Pathak stated that Kejriwal should stop this ‘drama,’ as the people of Delhi are well aware of such tactics.
‘Arvind Kejriwal should stop this drama. The people of Delhi understand these theatrics very well. A person who has been released on bail from jail is engaging in such drama. In the coming days, the people of Delhi will respond to this,’ he said.
Earlier today, Delhi Chief Minister and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) national convenor Arvind Kejriwal announced that he would resign from his position as Chief Minister in two days and would not resume his duties until the people of Delhi declared him ‘honest.’ Kejriwal added that if the public voted for him, it would serve as a certificate of his honesty. He also mentioned plans to call for early elections alongside Maharashtra.
Reacting to this, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) spokesperson Pradeep Bhandari termed the move a ‘PR stunt,’ claiming that Kejriwal was trying to restore his image. ‘This is a PR stunt by Arvind Kejriwal. He knows that his image among the people of Delhi is no longer that of an honest leader but of a corrupt one. Today, the Aam Aadmi Party is known across the country as a corrupt party. Through this stunt, he aims to rehabilitate his image,’ Bhandari said.
On Saturday, Kejriwal held a meeting with senior party leaders to discuss various issues, including the upcoming assembly polls in Haryana and the party’s organization in the national capital. He was released from Tihar Jail on Friday evening, hours after the Supreme Court granted him bail in connection with a corruption case linked to the alleged Delhi Excise Policy scam.
