Recently at Janata Ki Adalat in Delhi’s Jantar Mantar, AAP supremo Arvind Kejriwal broke silence on his resignation from his chief ministerial post on sunday.
Speaking at the event, Arvind Kejriwal explained the reasons for his resignation, saying “I resigned because I was hurt by corruption allegations. I have only earned respect, not money.”
Further, he also slammed PM Modi, stating “For the last ten years, we were running the government honestly. We made electricity and water free, provided free treatment, and improved education… Modi ji started thinking that if he wanted to win against us, he would have to attack our honesty. He then hatched a conspiracy to label Kejriwal, Sisodia, and AAP as dishonest and imprison every leader.” said Kejriwal.

I am affected; I am not a leader… will leave the CM’s bungalow in a few days. I don’t even have a house… have earned only love in ten years, and as a result, I am receiving calls from many people asking me to stay in their homes. After the Shraadh is over, at the beginning of Navratri, I will leave the house and stay at one of your places.” emphasised Kejriwal.
