Kejriwal’s Latest Political Drama: Will Delhi Ever Be the Same?

The “I Resign, But Not Really” Playbook

Kejriwal’s announcement felt like a déjà vu moment. Haven’t we seen this act before? “I will not sit on the CM chair until the people give their verdict,” he solemnly declared. The man loves a good exit, especially when it’s not really an exit but more of a calculated retreat. Don’t worry, folks! He’ll be back in the chair just as soon as he gets that sweet, sweet electoral mandate. So much for stepping down, huh?

And the cherry on top? His call for elections to be preponed from February to November. Because, of course, Delhi’s real problem isn’t governance, but Kejriwal’s insatiable need for applause. What’s better than a little early election drama to spice up an otherwise dull political year?

The Manish Sisodia Twist: No Roles in the Play… For Now

In a move that could only make sense in the Kejriwal universe, his loyal sidekick, Manish Sisodia, is also stepping aside. But, like any great political soap opera, he’ll be back once they get that “fresh mandate” from the people. Because nothing says accountability like a key figure in a scandal-ridden liquor policy case stepping back momentarily, only to be welcomed back into the fold after a little electoral magic.

Maybe Sisodia’s next role will be to not hold any positions, while everyone pretends he’s not the puppet master behind the scenes. Classic Kejriwal move—shift the spotlight for a while, only to bring it right back.

The Centre: Bigger Villains Than the British?

Kejriwal’s real talent? Out-villainizing the British. Forget history books—the Centre is apparently the cruellest regime Delhi has ever seen! According to Kejriwal, they sent him to jail just to “break the AAP and Arvind Kejriwal’s courage.” And what happened? In a Bollywood-worthy twist, Kejriwal emerged from the metaphorical ashes (or rather, jail), unbroken, with his moral halo shining brighter than ever before.

And, if you missed the theatrics, the Supreme Court even “proved that a government can run from jail.” Wow. Kejriwal might just be the first politician to claim that you can run a state from behind bars. Who needs an office when you’ve got a courtroom backing you? His martyr complex reaches new heights as he positions himself as the man too honest for Delhi’s dirty political game.

AAP’s New (Temporary) Hero?

The plot thickens. With Kejriwal “resigning” and Sisodia sidelined, who will run Delhi in the meantime? Don’t hold your breath. In true AAP style, they’ll choose a temporary CM in the next 2-3 days. It’ll probably be someone perfectly cast for the role of the seat-warmer, with the sole job of keeping Kejriwal’s chair warm until he’s ready for his grand return.

Because let’s face it—who really believes Kejriwal is going anywhere for long? This is just the trailer for his next act, and soon enough, Delhi will be graced with his glorious re-entry.

The Verdict: Kejriwal, The Hero Delhi Deserves?

As Kejriwal steps down (again), the question isn’t what’s next for Delhi but what’s next for Kejriwal. His latest drama feels less like a resignation and more like an extended campaign speech, complete with a demand for early elections to keep the momentum going. Maybe the real question is: how long before Kejriwal realizes that he can’t stay away from that chair for long?

So, buckle up, Delhi! You’ve got a front-row seat to the Kejriwal Show. And if there’s one thing we know, it’s that this story is far from over.
