Addressing AAP workers at party headquarters on Sunday, Kejriwal announced to step down as chief minister amid corruption allegations against him and vowed not to return to the post till he got a “certificate of honesty” from the people.The AAP supremo said he would become chief minister and Manish Sisodia deputy CM “only when people say we are honest”.Kejriwal, who was released on bail from the Tihar Jail in the excise policy graft case on Friday, has said that he would hold a meeting of AAP MLAs in a couple of days and one of his party colleagues would take over as chief minister.Alleging the BJP tried to prove him corrupt, Kejriwal claimed the saffron party could not provide good schools and free electricity to people because they were corrupt.”We are honest,” he asserted.”They slap false cases against non-BJP chief ministers. If the CMs are arrested, I urge them not to resign but run their government from jail,” Kejriwal said on Sunday.”I didn’t resign (after arrest in excise policy case) because I respect democracy and the Constitution is supreme for me,” he had said and asserted that it was only the AAP that could stand up to the BJP’s “conspiracies”.
