The Congress on Tuesday said only the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) can decide who should be the leader of its legislative party in response to a question whether or not, Arvind Kejriwal should continue as the Delhi Chief Minister after his arrest by the Enforcement Directorate (ED).
“Who should be the leader of a legislative party is decided by the MLAs of that party. No matter what an individual thinks, it is up to the party to decide. Whatever AAP decides, it is their decision,” Congress spokesperson Sandeep Dikshit told reporters, in response to a question on the Congress party’s view on Mr Kejriwal’s continuance as the Chief Minister.
Replying to another question on Mr Kejriwal issuing official orders from prison and the BJP calling thse orders as “fake”, Mr. Dikshit said the BJP’s assertion reiterates their [Congress] claim that the ED function as a wing of the ruling party.
