Mumbai.

After the arrest of CM Kejriwal, now Congress leader Sanjay Nirupam has demanded his resignation from the post of Chief Minister. Nirupam said that on the basis of morality, Kejriwal should resign from the post of CM.
Sanjay Nirupam wrote on social media platform X, ‘Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal is going through the biggest crisis of his life. I have sympathy for him as a human being. The Congress party has also publicly supported him, but the new definition of morality he is writing in Indian politics has forced me to write this post.

He said, ‘There was a time when the names of leaders like (L.K.) Advani ji, Madhavrao Scindia and Kamal Nath had appeared in the alleged diary of a hawala businessman Jain and he was accused of taking bribe, then on the basis of morality, he immediately resigned from his post. Had resigned. Lal Bahadur Shastri had resigned over a train accident.

The Congress leader also taunted and said, ‘Recently, when they were showing the spectacle of India Against Corruption to the entire country, the ministers of the UPA government had resigned from their posts even on the slightest allegations of corruption. A few months ago, Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren had demonstrated moral conduct by leaving his post before being arrested. If we go back thousands of years, Ram had given up the kingdom to keep his father’s promise. The person for whom the throne was snatched never sat on the throne of King Ramchandra, but ruled from his position until his elder brother Ram returned. India has such a rich tradition.

Sanjay Nirupam said, ‘What is the truth of Delhi’s liquor scam? The court has to decide this. But a Chief Minister has been accused of corruption in this scam. He has been arrested. He is in custody and still clinging to the post of Chief Minister? What kind of morality is this? He should immediately resign from his post.
This senior leader of Maharashtra Congress said, ‘In Indian politics, the party which is just 11 years old is setting an example of politics becoming completely unethical. We are taking a stand on the entire incident according to our respective political clans, but the danger is that Kejriwal ji’s insistence on sticking to his chair will make Indian politics more hollow in the future. There is a need to recognize this danger by rising above politics.
