Arvind Kejriwal Set To Resign As Delhi Chief Minister In Two Days Amid Legal Battles

In a shocking development, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has announced his intention to step down from his position in just two days. The decision comes after his recent release from Tihar Jail, where he was held for nearly six months in connection with the excise policy case.

Addressing party workers at the new Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) headquarters, Kejriwal said, “Despite being granted bail, the case against me continues. After consulting my legal team, I have decided not to occupy the Chief Minister’s seat until the matter is resolved. I will resign in two days and will only return to the CM’s office if the people elect me again.“

This announcement has sent ripples across political circles, as Kejriwal’s leadership has been central to AAP’s growth in Delhi and beyond. His resignation is expected to bring significant changes within the Delhi government, including a possible cabinet reshuffle.

Sources say that Manish Sisodia, former Deputy CM, may return to a key role alongside Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann to lead the party through upcoming challenges, including the Haryana elections.

Arvind Kejriwal’s Legal Woes

Kejriwal was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on March 21 in a money laundering case linked to Delhi’s controversial excise policy. The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) later arrested him on June 26 in a related corruption case.

While the Supreme Court granted him interim bail on July 12, his legal battles continue, with businessman Amandeep Singh Dhall being the only co-accused still in custody.

As the political drama unfolds, Kejriwal’s imminent resignation marks a significant chapter in Indian politics, leaving many wondering about AAP’s future leadership and the direction of its governance in Delhi.
