Court relief, tears, band-baaja, then a challenge to hold fresh polls in Delhi: Kejriwal's big day in Capital

In a significant turn of events for Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, the court has discharged him and 22 others from a case, leading to an emotional celebration replete with traditional band-baaja. Following this judicial relief, Kejriwal issued a bold challenge to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, proposing fresh elections in Delhi. He stated that if the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) secures more than ten seats, he would resign from politics. This declaration adds a layer of political intrigue as the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) prepares for potential electoral contests. Kejriwal's remarks not only underscore his confidence in the AAP's standing in the capital but also reflect the ongoing political rivalry between the AAP and the BJP. The court's decision is seen as a victory for Kejriwal amidst the backdrop of intense political maneuvering in Delhi, where the AAP has been in power since 2015. As Delhi gears up for possible elections, the stakes for both parties have never been higher, with Kejriwal's challenge setting the stage for a fierce political battle ahead.
