New Delhi: After stepping down as Delhi’s Chief Minister, Arvind Kejriwal addressed the public at Jantar Mantar, reiterating his commitment to honesty and transparency.

In his address, Kejriwal stated, “I have only earned respect in my life. Today, as I resign and prepare to vacate the Chief Minister’s residence, I have no house to live in Delhi. Over the past decade, I have gained your blessings, not wealth. I did not come here for power or money. If I had wanted to earn money, I would have stayed in my income tax job and made crores. But I came for the country.”

He claimed that a conspiracy had been hatched against him and his leaders were unjustly jailed. He mentioned the challenges faced during his tenure, including being framed under stringent laws like the PMLA Act. Kejriwal highlighted his government’s achievements, such as providing free electricity, water, and improved education in Delhi. “If I were corrupt, could I have made electricity and water free? Could I have built good schools in Delhi?” he asked, urging people to decide if he was honest in the upcoming elections.

Kejriwal posed five questions to the RSS, criticizing PM Modi’s actions, including the induction of corrupt leaders into the BJP and undermining democracy.
