Arvind Kejriwal has resigned as the Chief Minister of Delhi. Former Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said on Sunday that he will leave his official residence during the upcoming Navratri festival starting from October 3. Kejriwal accused the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in his first public address after resigning on September 17.

Implicated in a false case- Kejriwal

Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Convenor Arvind Kejriwal said that BJP has implicated him in a false case. Kejriwal said that he could not live with the 'stain of dishonesty'. Kejriwal asked the crowd gathered at Jantar Mantar, 'I cannot even live with the stigma of being dishonest, let alone working. If I was dishonest, would I have made electricity and bus travel free for women? Would I have been able to improve government schools and hospitals?'

He doesn't lust for power.

Aam Aadmi Party convenor Arvind Kejriwal was in jail for more than five months in the excise policy case. He was released on bail from Tihar Jail on September 13. Kejriwal said that he has come into politics to serve the country and not for any greed for power or position. 

In 10 years, I have earned respect, not money: Kejriwal.

The former Chief Minister also said that he has resigned because he was hurt by the corruption charges against him. He said that in the last 10 years, he has earned only respect and not money. He said, 'I am not a leader, I do not have a thick skin. This makes a difference to me. I feel sad when BJP people throw mud at me and make false allegations against me.'

Will go out of the house during Navratri

The Aam Aadmi Party chief said he would move out of the chief minister's official residence after the 'shraddha' period. "I will move out of the residence during Navratri and stay among those who are offering me accommodation," he said. 

People are calling us to stay in their homes- Kejriwal

Kejriwal said, 'Today I don't even have a house to live in. I have earned the love and blessings of the people in 10 years and because of this love many people are inviting me to live in their homes.'
