Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has sought time for a meeting with Lieutenant Governor V.K. Saxena on Tuesday (September 17, 2024) and is likely to tender his resignation, AAP said.
Lieutenant Governor V.K. Saxena has confirmed the meeting with Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Tuesday (September 17, 2024) at 4:30 p.m.
The AAP supremo had said he would become Chief Minister and Manish Sisodia his deputy "only when people say we are honest".

Days after being released from Tihar jail on bail in the excise policy case, the AAP national convenor said on Sunday that he would resign within 48 hours and sought early polls in Delhi. He vowed not to sit in the chief minister's chair till people gave him a "certificate of honesty".
He had said he would hold a meeting of AAP MLAs in a couple of days and a party leader would take over as Chief Minister.
