Won’t resign; will run the Government from prison : Delhi CM Kejriwal

New Delhi – Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on 21 ^st March evening, on charges of being the ‘mastermind’of Rs 100 crore Delhi liquor policy scam. The ED Court sent Kejriwal to ED custody till 28 ^th March. Kejriwal has refused to resign from the post of Delhi CM and said he would run the Government from prison. He also said that ‘the people of Delhi also want the same’. Kejriwal was produced in Rouse Avenue Court.

A 150-page report on spying ED officers Kapil Raj and Satyavrat was allegedly found at Kejriwal’s house. It is not only a scam of Rs 100 crore, but it is alleged that the bribe givers have earned Rs 600 crore in profit.

Won’t resign, will run the government from jail !
– Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal

The foundation of Bharat has been built on sacrifice, transparency, faultlessness and truth. Even in the West, the state-heads resign from their positions when accused of corruption.

Kejriwal added,

1. I fully understand that there will be many difficulties. Still going to try to work from here (prison).

2. My health is in a very good shape. I never thought that the ED would come home to arrest me so soon after the order of the Delhi High Court.

3. No inquiry has been conducted yet. There is no guarantee that interrogation will take place even while in custody, because ED does not want to investigate. What ED wants to do, it can do.

Editorial Perspectives

India is a land of sacrifice, transparency, purity and truth. Even in the western countries, allegations of corruption result in the resignation of concerned politician. Last November, Portugal’s PM Antonio Costa resigned due to allegations of corruption. In this background, Kejriwal’s stance shows lack of morality and principle.
