The Delhi BJP on Wednesday held protests at various parts in the city demanding the resignation of Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal over the now-scrapped excise policy of the AAP government. The saffron party had on Tuesday termed the resignation of Manish Sisodia and Satyendar Jain from the Delhi Cabinet amid corruption allegations a "victory of truth and that of the party workers" while claiming that the chief minister will have to resign too.
Hours before the news of resignation by the two ministers hit the headlines, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) had said it would raise awareness on the "conspiracy" that was hatched to "toy" with the future of youths in Delhi by allowing "proliferation" of liquor vends.
On Wednesday, BJP members held protests near the ITO roundabout and demanded that the Delhi chief minister should resign.
Delhi BJP's working president Virendra Sachdeva asked if according to Kejriwal, his ministers were "innocent", why the Supreme Court did not give them any relief and their resignations were accepted. In the last eight years, several ministers in the AAP government have resigned, most of them on "corruption charges". Kejriwal should resign on moral grounds, he claimed.
