Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) convener Arvind Kejriwal announced on Sunday, September 15, 2024, that he will step down as Delhi Chief Minister within two days, following the party’s selection of a new CM.
Speaking to party workers at the AAP headquarters, Kejriwal declared his intention to call for early elections in Delhi and pledged not to resume the Chief Minister’s role until the public grants him a “certificate of honesty.”
“Delhi elections are due in February, but I demand elections in the national capital be held in November with Maharashtra,” Mr. Kejriwal said.

“With the blessings of the people, we have the strength to counter all the conspiracies of the BJP. Today, we have been able to do so much for Delhi because we are honest,” Mr. Kejriwal said.
“Today, they are afraid of our honesty because they are not honest. I did not become a part of this game of ‘power from money and money from power’. I got justice from the court of law, now, the court of the people will give me justice. Now, I will sit on the chair of Chief Minister again only after the decision of the people of Delhi,” Mr. Kejriwal said.
