Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) convener Arvind Kejriwal on Sunday (September 15, 2024) said that he will resign as Delhi Chief Minister in two days after the party selects a new person from the party as CM.

Announcing his resignation during his address to the party workers at the AAP headquarters, he said that he would demand an early poll in Delhi and vowed not to sit in CM’s chair till people give him a “certificate of honesty”.

I am going to resign from the CM position after two days. I will not sit on the CM chair until the people give their verdict... I will go to every house and street and not sit on the CM chair till I get a verdict from the people," the chief minister said in his first speech after coming out of jail. 

The AAP supremo also announced that Manish Sisodia, who is also an accused in the liquor police case and recently walked out of jail on bail, will also not hold any position and will come back in the government only after a fresh mandate.   

In his address, Kejriwal launched a scathing attack on the Centre, calling it more cruel than the British. "Some people say that we will not be able to work because of restrictions imposed by the SC. Even they did not leave any stone unturned in imposing restrictions on us. If you think I am honest, vote for me in large numbers."
