On Sunday, Kejriwal while addressing his party workers had announced his decision to resign. “I am going to resign after 2 days; ask people whether I am honest; till they respond, won’t sit on CM’s chair. I will only sit on CM’s chair after people give me certificate of honesty; want to give ‘agnipariksha’ after coming out of jail,” the 54-year-old leader said.
