“Should Kejriwal resign or run the government from jail?” The Aam Aadmi Party is set to host public dialogues across the nation to find out what people think about the question.
The decision to hold a referendum in Delhi and across the nation was among several taken during a 1.5-hour discussion Tuesday between Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and AAP’s municipal councillors to discuss the ED summons issued to him in connection with the excise policy case. This comes a day after he held a similar meeting with party MLAs.
AAP MLA and MCD in-charge Durgesh Pathak said, “AAP councillors and MLAs will run a campaign throughout the country and hold a referendum… they will visit every house to hold a dialogue with citizens. We will tour the national capital and hold nukkad (street) discussions on whether the CM should resign or run the government from Tihar Jail.”
Pathak said the councillors made the same request as the MLAs, namely that Kejriwal ought to lead the government from behind bars, in the event that he is arrested. “All councillors requested the CM that he should not think about resigning. If the Modi government’s ED dares to arrest the CM, then he has to run the government from jail..,” he said.
“After being requested by the councillors to not resign, the CM said he will first hold a meeting with AAP leaders in Punjab, after which he will take a decision in this regard,” Pathak added.
