Senior AAP leader Manish Sisodia will meet Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Monday, a day after the party supremo announced to resign and not sit on the chief minister’s chair till people give him a “certificate of honesty”.
The meeting is slated to be held at the chief minister’s official residence in the Civil Lines area. The AAP’s Parliamentary Affairs Committee (PAC) is also likely to meet in the evening at Kejriwal’s residence.
The AAP national convener has said that he would become chief minister and Manish Sisodia his deputy “only when people say we are honest”.
Kejriwal, who was released on bail from the Tihar Jail in the excise policy graft case on Friday, has said that he would hold a meeting of the AAP MLAs in a couple of days and one of his party colleagues would take over as the chief minister.
His unexpected announcement kicked up a strong buzz over the names of his wife Sunita and his ministers Atishi and Gopal Rai as his possible replacement.
