PTI, New Delhi :
Three months after quitting as Delhi chief minister, Arvind Kejriwal on Wednesday apologized to the people of Delhi and the country for “resigning midway” and said the party will gear up for elections.
The AAP chief, who had quit as CM after a 49-day stint, said the chances of his party forming a government in Delhi were negligible in the current scenario.
“I apologize to the people of Delhi and the country for resigning midway,” he told reporters. “We had a meeting and we have decided to gear up for elections. We will go among the people, will hold various meetings in Delhi in the coming days. We will apologize to people of Delhi in meetings and gain their trust to ask them to support us with complete majority,” he said. Asked about the possibility of forming a government again, Kejriwal said, “There were possibilities but none can be seen feasible at present to form the government.”
Kejriwal had on Tuesday met lieutenant governor Najeeb Jung and asked him not to dissolve the assembly anytime soon, saying it will hold public meetings across the city to know whether the party should form the government again.
However, the Congress, which had supported the Kejriwal government earlier, had yesterday refused to support them again.
