Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal is set to meet Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena on Tuesday at 4:30 PM, where he is expected to submit his resignation, as reported by PTI. The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) confirmed that Kejriwal has sought a meeting with the lieutenant governor.
On Sunday, Kejriwal announced his intention to resign while speaking to his party members. He stated, “I am going to resign after 2 days; ask people whether I am honest; till they respond, won’t sit on CM’s chair. I will only sit on CM’s chair after people give me certificate of honesty; want to give ‘agnipariksha’ after coming out of jail,” said the 54-year-old leader.
Delhi Minister Saurabh Bharadwaj mentioned that a legislative party meeting will be held to select the new leader who will assume the role of chief minister. “Whoever will get elected will present the claim to the President through the Lieutenant Governor. The MLAs are with us. So obviously that person will be called and will take oath. I think this whole process should be completed within a week,” Bharadwaj told ANI.
