BJP attacks
The BJP has said that Kejriwal’s decision to resign from the post of Chief Minister was taken due to ‘compulsion’ and not due to ‘principle’. There is speculation that the AAP may nominate a Dalit or Muslim MLA for the post of Chief Minister to attract voters before the assembly elections, as the state has 12 reserved constituencies and many seats with minority population.
