After Arvind Kejriwal was granted bail in a CBI case by the Supreme Court, the BJP on Friday demanded his resignation as the Delhi CM. BJP MP Bansuri Swaraj while addressing the media called Kejriwal “a negligent leader” of a carefree government.
“Kejriwal has been barred from signing any files as chief minister and from going to the CM’s office,” Swaraj said.
While explaining the court bail order, Swaraj emphasised that the courts have upheld the legality of cases against Kejriwal. “Court proceedings have repeatedly confirmed that Kejriwal’s arrest is legal. The trial court, high court and the Supreme Court have all found this to be true,” she added… “This indicates that the investigating agencies had adequate evidence, materials, and statements, which led to the conclusion that Kejriwal’s arrest was justified. It also points to his involvement as the kingpin of the liquor scam.”
Swaraj further said that Kejriwal is making Delhi suffer by not resigning from his post. “The Supreme Court had suggested that the Delhi CM should step down. The way he has been holding onto the chair of CM, it is because of his stubbornness that Delhi is suffering. But Kejriwal did not understand the Supreme Court’s suggestion,” she said.
