Congress surrounded Kejriwal
Congress leader Sandeep Dixit reacted to CM Arvind Kejriwal’s statement that ‘I am going to resign from the post of CM after 2 days’. He said, ‘There is no question of becoming CM again. We have been saying for a long time that he should resign from the post of CM. This is just a drama.’ He further said, ‘This is the first time that an elected leader has come out of jail on bail and the Supreme Court has asked him not to go to CMO and not to sign any paper. Such conditions have never been imposed on any CM before. Perhaps the Supreme Court is also afraid that this person may try to tamper with the evidence. The Supreme Court is treating him like a criminal. There is no connection between morality and Arvind Kejriwal.’

BJP lashes out at Kejriwal’s decision
BJP leader Manjinder Singh Sirsa said, ‘Arvind Kejriwal has announced that he will resign after two days and will become CM again after getting the verdict from the people, this is not a sacrifice. The Supreme Court has said in the order that he cannot go near the CM’s chair and cannot sign any file. So, you have no option, you are forced to resign due to the Supreme Court order.’
He further said, ‘People gave their verdict 3 months ago when you asked ‘jail or bail’, you lost all 7 (Delhi’s Lok Sabha seats) and were sent to jail. Now he has asked for two days time because he is convincing all the MLAs to make his wife the CM. He has been forced to leave his chair because he is involved in the liquor scam.’
