'Mere Gimmick': Delhi Congress Slams Arvind Kejriwal Following Resignation Announcement
Congress criticised Arvind Kejriwal's resignation announcement, calling it a "gimmick" and questioned his fitness to be CM again after his bail conditions prevented him from entering the CMO.
Congress party's Delhi unit came down heavily on Aam Aadmi Party chief Arvind Kejriwal who announced to step down from the post of Delhi Chief Minister on Sunday. Delhi Congress leader Sandeep Dikshit said that there was no question of Kejriwal becoming the chief minister again and that the Sunday annoucement was a "mere gimmick."
"There is no question of becoming the CM again. We have been saying this for a long time that he should resign as the CM... This is a mere gimmick," Dikshit said.
"This happened for the first time when an elected leader came out of jail on bail, and was asked by the SC to not go to the CMO or sign any papers... Such conditions were never imposed on any other CM...," said the Congress leader.
