Arvind Kejriwal judgment LIVE updates | Delhi HC dismisses PIL seeking Arvind Kejriwal’s removal as Chief Minister after judgment by ED

The Delhi BJP demanded the resignation of Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, who has been arrested by the Enforcement Directorate in the excise policy case, alleging the city is facing a constitutional crisis.

Addressing a press conference, Delhi BJP president Virendra Sachdeva and party MP Manoj Tiwari said the AAP could have made anyone from the party Chief Minister after Mr. Kejriwal was taken into custody.

“Delhi is under a huge constitutional crisis. If you have even scant regard for the people of Delhi who elected you, you could have made anyone (from AAP) Chief Minister,” Mr. Tiwari said.

Taking a dig at the Kejriwal-led Aam Aadmi Party, Mr. Sachdeva said there is an internal tussle going on in the AAP for the Chief Minister’s chair. He questioned the constitutional validity of running a government from the custody of a probe agency.

“Show us one example in the entire world of somebody running the government from jail. If you have any ethics left in you, withdraw,” Mr. Sachdeva said, asking why did the party get Manish Sisodia and Satyendar Jain to resin if functioning from jail is legal. – PTI
