In the city of Ahmednagar, there was a lot of buzz surrounding the recent announcement made by Delhi's Chief Minister and AAP leader, Arvind Kejriwal. After being released on bail for the Delhi excise policy case, Kejriwal declared his resignation from his top ministerial position on Sunday. This news quickly caught the attention of social worker Anna Hazare, who was a key figure in the anti-corruption movement with Kejriwal at Delhi's Ramlila Maidan.
Hazare, a well-known Gandhian activist, revealed that he had previously advised Kejriwal against entering politics. He believed that true fulfillment lies in social service rather than the political world. However, Kejriwal did not heed his advice and chose to pursue a career in politics. Hazare expressed his disappointment, stating, "I have been saying from the beginning that Arvind Kejriwal should not have ventured into politics. He chose not to listen to my advice."
Hazare went on to say that he cannot fully understand what is in Kejriwal's heart, but he believes that the recent turn of events was inevitable. This is not the first time that Hazare has commented on matters involving Kejriwal. In the past, he had expressed his frustration when Kejriwal was arrested in the Delhi excise policy case. "I am deeply upset that Arvind Kejriwal, who once worked with me and spoke out against liquor, is now involved in formulating liquor policies. His arrest is a consequence of his own actions," Hazare had stated.
It is worth mentioning that Hazare's remarks come at a time when Kejriwal has announced his resignation and is pushing for early elections in the national capital. Kejriwal has made a bold statement, declaring that he will not return to his Chief Minister position until he receives a "certificate of honesty" from the people. He stated, "I will only resume my role as Chief Minister after the people give me a certificate of honesty. I wish to undergo this 'agnipariksha' after my release from jail."
In the meantime, until the elections are conducted, someone else will serve as Chief Minister in Delhi. Both Kejriwal and his deputy, Manish Sisodia, have declared that they will not assume the position of Chief Minister. This decision was made as Kejriwal was recently granted bail in the excise policy corruption case. He stated, "Until the elections are conducted, someone else will serve as Chief Minister. Both Manish Sisodia and I will refrain from assuming the position of Chief Minister." It remains to be seen how this situation will unfold, but one thing is for sure, it has caused quite a stir in the political arena.
