Why does Arvind Kejriwal always blame the BJP? Why did he resign from his CM post in Dehli?
Arvind Kejriwal, the leader of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), frequently blames the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for several reasons:
-
Political Rivalry and Allegations of Harassment: Kejriwal often accuses the BJP of attempting to discredit him and his party through false allegations and harassment. He claims that the BJP is afraid of AAP's popularity and the success of its governance initiatives in Delhi, such as free electricity and improved public services25.
-
Corruption Allegations: The BJP has been critical of Kejriwal and AAP, particularly over the Delhi excise policy case, which led to Kejriwal's arrest. Kejriwal counters that these allegations are part of a larger conspiracy by the BJP to tarnish his image and undermine AAP's political influence25.
-
Election Strategies: Kejriwal's accusations against the BJP are also part of his electoral strategy, aiming to galvanize public support by portraying the BJP as an adversary that seeks to undermine AAP's achievements and Kejriwal's personal integrity25.
As for his resignation from the Chief Minister post in Delhi, Kejriwal announced his decision to step down in September 2024, stating that he would not return to the position unless the people of Delhi declared him honest in the upcoming elections. This move was seen as a strategic attempt to restore his image, which had been damaged by corruption allegations and legal issues, particularly the excise policy case24. Kejriwal's resignation was also interpreted by the BJP as a public relations stunt aimed at garnering sympathy and deflecting criticism4.
