New Delhi, Sep 22: Former Delhi CM and Aam Aadmi Party National Convenor Arvind Kejriwal on Sunday said that he resigned because he has no greed for CM's chair and had joined the politics for the country.
Speaking at the 'Janta ki Adalat' event in Jantar Mantar, he expressed his disillusionment with political allegations, stating, “I did not join politics to engage in corruption or to seek the Chief Minister’s chair.”
Kejriwal, who asserted he is not a traditional politician, voiced his concerns about the impact of accusations from the BJP, saying, “When the BJP labels me a thief or corrupt, it affects me deeply. Today, I feel heartbroken, which is why I chose to resign.”
He elaborated on his humble lifestyle, sharing that he has no personal residence in Delhi.
“I will be leaving the Chief Minister’s bungalow soon; I don’t even own a house here. Over the past decade, I have earned respect and love from the people, which is why many have offered me a place to stay,” he said.
Kejriwal also launched a strong critique against the BJP, claiming, “We governed honestly, providing free electricity and water, and improving education and healthcare. However, Modi seems to believe that undermining our integrity is the way to win against us. This led to a conspiracy to tarnish my image and that of my colleagues, aiming to imprison AAP leaders.”
