NEW DELHI: As Arvind Kejriwal‘s three-week temporary bail for poll campaigning comes to an end on Sunday, the Delhi chief minister and AAP convenor is set to return to Tihar jail later in the day. Despite this development, the party has assured its top functionaries that Kejriwal will continue to serve as chief minister.
In light of the current situation, Sunita Kejriwal, Arvind Kejriwal’s wife, will once again take on the role of intermediary between the party’s top functionaries and the national convener.Since Kejriwal’s imprisonment, Sunita Kejriwal‘s involvement in the party has increased, acting as a bridge between her husband and the party.
A senior party member said, “Kejriwalji will continue to be CM. We are waiting for the poll results. If INDIA wins then, we do not have to worry as investigation agencies will not continue to be misused. But if BJP wins, CM will continue to be Kejriwal because it is people of Delhi who want him there.”
Meanwhile, BJP functionaries have stated that they will intensify their demand for Kejriwal’s resignation after the Lok Sabha election results are announced. They argue that the state government cannot effectively function with the Chief Minister in jail.
“There is a water crisis and development projects are not being executed. So, we will press for Kejriwal’s resignation because the people of Delhi are suffering,” said a BJP functionary. He added that the party would also reach out to LG on the prospect of imposing President’s rule in Delhi.
