Delhi Health Minister Saurabh Bhardwaj confirmed on Monday that Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal will resign on Tuesday. Bhardwaj dismissed speculation that the resignation was a public relations move and accused the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of harassing the AAP leader. Bhardwaj alleged Kejriwal, who was just released from jail on a court order, has decided not to return to his job as Chief Minister until he has received public acceptance, reported IANS.
According to the report, he went on: "He will undergo Agnipariksha and only if the public considers him honest then he will sit as Chief Minister. This is a significant event in itself."
