After Arvind Kejriwal stated that he would be resigning from the Delhi Chief Minister`s (CM) post, the ruling Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Monday said that it has put the ball in the court of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) by demanding early elections in Delhi in November, news agency PTI reported. With Kejriwal set to tender his resignation on Tuesday, it is up to BJP to decide if it was "prepared to face" the CM, his party stated.

The process to choose Kejriwal`s replacement will start only after he steps down, Delhi minister Saurabh Bharadwaj said, adding that there has been no discussion on who the next CM will be.
