However, he noted that the Supreme Court had ultimately granted him bail, allowing him to return to the Assembly. Kejriwal also touched upon his resignation following his release, stating, *”When I was released from jail, I resigned; nobody asked me to do so, I resigned on my own.”* He urged the people of Delhi to judge him based on his honesty and integrity, saying, *”If the people of Delhi think Kejriwal is honest, then vote for me; otherwise, don’t vote for me.”*His remarks reflect the ongoing political tension in Delhi, where the AAP continues to assert its position despite facing significant legal challenges. The address is likely to resonate with supporters who view Kejriwal as a symbol of resistance against what they perceive as political persecution. As the political landscape in Delhi evolves, Kejriwal’s call for public support emphasizes the party’s commitment to its foundational principles of transparency and accountability.
