The AAP’s Political Affairs Committee (PAC) members started meeting with Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal at his residence on Monday. The AAP has scheduled a series of meetings, including that of its political affairs committee, to decide on a new chief minister for Delhi, a day after Arvind Kejriwal’s surprise announcement of quitting the post.
Sources told India TV that after meeting with the PAC, the legislative party meeting will be held at 11 am on Tuesday when the name of the new CM will be approved in the meeting.
Earlier in the day, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said he sought time for a meeting with Lt Governor VK Saxena on Tuesday and is likely to tender his resignation.
The AAP supremo had said he would become chief minister and Manish Sisodia his deputy “only when people say we are honest”.
“The chief minister has sought time from Saxena for a meeting on Tuesday. He is likely to tender his resignation,” the party said on Monday.
Days after being released from Tihar jail on bail in the excise policy case, the AAP national convenor said on Sunday that he would resign within 48 hours and sought early polls in Delhi.
He vowed not to sit in the chief minister’s chair till people gave him a “certificate of honesty”. He had said he would hold a meeting of AAP MLAs in a couple of days and a party leader would take over as chief minister.
