Senior AAP leader Manish Sisodia will meet Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Monday. This comes a day after Kejriwal announced he would resign and not return as chief minister until people gave him a "certificate of honesty."
Kejriwal, who is the AAP's national leader, said he would take back the position of chief minister, with Manish Sisodia as his deputy, only when people believe they are honest.
A party official said, "Kejriwal and Sisodia will meet today. This will be their first meeting after the announcement. They will likely discuss who will be the next chief minister." The meeting will be held at the chief minister's official residence in Civil Lines.
Kejriwal, recently released on bail from the Tihar Jail after being involved in the excise policy case, also mentioned that one of his party colleagues would take over as chief minister. His announcement led to speculation about who might replace him, with names like his wife Sunita, and ministers Atishi and Gopal Rai being mentioned.
