Senior Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) today reacted to his party boss Arvind Kejriwal announcing to quit as Delhi Chief Minister and said he has decided to give “agni pariksha” (trial by fire). Mr Kejriwal today announced to resign after two days and vowed not to sit in CM’s chair till people give him a “certificate of honesty”. His remarks came two days after he was released on bail from Tihar in the Delhi liquor policy corruption case.
“Today he (Mr Kejriwal) decided to give agni pariksha. People of Delhi will prove him honest by voting for the AAP,” Mr Chadha told reporters.
Invoking actor Bollywood Amitabh Bachchan’s gesture in the film “Deewar”, he said the people of Delhi will write on their hands that “Mr Kejriwal is innocent”.
