Challenges BJP & Congress will face in Delhi elections, While AAP sought a solution to anti-incumbency!
Delhi Politics: CM of Delhi Arvind Kejriwal announced today, that he will resign from the post of Chief Minister of Delhi within the next two days. After his decision, speculation intensified that assembly elections in the national capital could be held before February 2025. However, this decision of Kejriwal is not surprising, because he has definitely got bail from the Supreme Court in the alleged Delhi liquor scam case, but there are some conditions attached to it.
Kejriwal is calm growing discontent in people
After his design to resign from CM post, Arvind Kejriwal is trying to calm the growing discontent among the people of Delhi about corruption and governance under his leadership. Also, to unite the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and its supporters around the narrative of 'honesty and accountability'. While court also put conditions on his bail, Kejriwal cannot go to the CM office, nor the secretariat nor can he sign documents. In other words, even if he remains the Chief Minister, it will remain just a sham post under his bail conditions.
BJP & Congress made Kejriwal bail conditions an issue
The BJP and the Congress party is trying to make Kejriwal's bail conditions an issue and send a message that the Supreme Court has not given him a clean chit in the alleged liquor scam case.
Kejriwal knows the pulse of people
Arvind Kejriwal is remained the favorite of the people of Delhi for three consecutive elections. But this time the path for him in Delhi does not seem to be as easy as before. It cannot be denied that the Delhi liquor scam case has damaged the personal image of AAP and Arvind Kejriwal. While Kejriwal announced his decision to step down as Chief Minister prove that he is preparing for an image makeover.
I did not come to play the game of power
I came to do something for the country. When Lord Ram returned from exile after 14 years, Sita Maiyya had to undergo Agni Pariksha. Therefore, I have come out of jail and am ready to undergo Agni Pariksha. Your every vote will be a certificate of my honesty. If you vote for me and tell me that Kejriwal is honest, only then will I sit on the CM's chair after the elections. Until then I will not sit on the CM's chair." In fact, by resigning, Kejriwal is trying to create an image in the minds of the people as a leader who is not accused of corruption but is a victim of political conspiracy.
Strong anti-incumbency wave against him
An attempt to create a wave of sympathy among the public by resigning, Kejriwal will try to gain public sympathy. However, he has already adopted this method during the last Lok Sabha elections. When the Supreme Court granted him interim bail for election campaigning, the Aam Aadmi Party had run a 'vote for jail' campaign in Delhi..

Will the road is easy for AAP in Delhi elections
Therefore Aam Aadmi Party won the Delhi Assembly elections in 2015 and 2020 with a record percentage of votes. But the promises that Kejriwal has been making in his speeches in these 10 years are compared with the actual situation in Delhi, many of his statements turn out to be baseless. Whether it is about making Delhi the world's most magnificent capital city, or comparing it with Singapore. This monsoon, Delhi looked worse than 15 years ago. Now It will not be easy for Kejriwal to repeat its previous performance in Delhi.
