Kejriwal's resignation evokes mixed reactions in city

Bhubaneswar: Arvind Kejriwal’s resignation from the post of Delhi chief minister has invited mixed reactions from the politically sensitive people especially young mass in the city.

“Arvind’s commitments are good for the citizens of Delhi and he has also done something better for the people in his short term. But the way he resigned taking a jibe at Lt Governor of the National Capital territory is not a sign of healthy democracy,” a young student said adding Kejriwal should go by rule to get the Lokayukta Bill passed.

Echoing same another student said Kejriwal has become role model of many for his various pro-people policies. But sometimes he is approaching wrong way to materialise his commitments. Everything should be done in a democratic process.

Reacting to such views another student, a fan of former Delhi CM, said what Kejriwal Ji has done is right and nothing is unconstitutional in it. He has not done anything beyond constitutional guidelines.

Notably, Arvind Kejriwal resigned last night after suffering a defeat in Delhi assembly on the Jan Lokpal Bill and in a political gamble he recommended dissolution of the assembly and holding of fresh polls.

Bringing to an end a 49-day roller coaster ride in power, during which he received bouquets and brickbats in equqal measure, the Chief Minister and his cabinet met for one last time when it decided to resign and make the recommendation to Lt Governor Najeeb Jung whose advice against the anti-graft Bill he had defied in the assembly.
