Talking about Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s decision to run the government from jail, Congress leader Sanjay Nirupam on March 23 said that Arvind Kejriwal should resign from his position as Delhi Chief Minister on moral grounds of his arrest.“... The Court will decide if Arvind Kejriwal has taken any money or not, I cannot say anything on that... But when a person, especially a CM, is accused of corruption and says that he will run the government from jail and not resign, this indicates a very wrong trend... A person who taught honesty from 2011-14 and claimed that he is a ‘Kattar Imaandar’, is not displaying any basic elements of ethics... If he is honest, then he should resign... Running a government from jail is not legal and practically possible... On the basis of ethics and legalities, he (Arvind Kejriwal) should resign...”Congress leader Sandeep Dikshit also said that it would be better from an administrative point of view that he nominates someone else as the Delhi Chief Minister. “Whether he continues to be the CM and run the government from jail is AAP’s internal matter but there is no law that bans it. It will be better from an administrative point of view that he (Arvind Kejriwal) nominates someone else,” said Sandeep Dikshit.
