Arvind Kejriwal, chief minister of India’s national capital territory of Delhi, said he would resign and called for elections to be brought forward just days after he was granted bail and released from prison.
“The court has ruled in our favor,” he told a gathering in Hindi on Sunday. Kejriwal, an outspoken critic of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, said he would not accept the role of chief minister until the people had shown they believe he is honest. He called for Delhi elections, due to be held early next year, to be brought forward to November.
