For Arvind Kejriwal, the constitution or any rule of the government or any tradition has no meaning. He makes his own rules. He does whatever he pleases and his party makes all kinds of arguments to justify it. For example, it was an established tradition that if a minister or chief minister is arrested, he resigns. But Kejriwal created a new tradition. He remained in jail for six months but did not resign. Even though all work in Delhi came to a standstill. Now, after coming out of jail, he is advising all the chief ministers of non-BJP ruled states not to resign if they are arrested.
In this way, he has started a new tradition. He has decided that one should not resign from the post of Chief Minister on a holiday. That is why on Sunday, when he met party workers at his party headquarters and announced his resignation, he said that he would resign two days later on Tuesday. Later, when journalists asked his government’s number two minister Atishi why Kejriwal would resign after two days, she said that Sunday is a holiday and Monday is a holiday for Eid Milad un Nabi. After that, the first working day is Tuesday, so Kejriwal will resign on that day. Think, what does a holiday and a working day have to do with resignation? The Supreme Court had anyway banned him from working. So he could have resigned anytime.
