SC has shown mirror to Delhi CM Kejriwal, he should resign: BJP

New Delhi: The BJP Friday said Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal should immediately resign from his post as the Supreme Court has granted him only conditional bail and that he continues to be an accused in the corruption case linked to the excise policy 'scam'.

The BJP's reaction came after the top court granted bail to Kejriwal in the case lodged by the CBI and said that prolonged incarceration amounts to unjust deprivation of liberty.

During a press conference at the party headquarters here, BJP national spokesperson Gaurav Bhatia said, "The Supreme Court has shown a mirror to 'kattar beimaan' (outright dishonest) Arvind Kejriwal while granting bail to him. He should immediately resign after this."

Bhatia added that Kejriwal continues to be an accused in the case as the court has granted him conditional bail.

Neither have the charges against him been quashed nor has he been acquitted, the BJP leader added.
