Hold polls in Delhi, will quit politics if BJP wins over 10 seats: Arvind Kejriwal

Earlier on Friday, Arvind Kejriwal and former Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia were discharged in the Delhi excise policy case as the Rouse Avenue noted that there was no sufficient evidence in the case.

Former Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, vindicated after he and others accused in the Liquor Policy Case were acquitted, dared Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the BJP to hold elections in Delhi and see what happens. "I will quit politics if the BJP wins more than 10 seats," Kejriwal said during a press conference hours after his acquittal.

On Friday, Aam Aadmi Party national convenor Arvind Kejriwal and former Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia were discharged in the Delhi excise policy case, with the Rouse Avenue delivering a sharp rebuke to the CBI and ruling that the prosecution had failed to substantiate its allegations with credible evidence.

The court held that claims of a larger conspiracy and criminal intent did not stand up to judicial scrutiny, as it discharged all 23 accused in the case, including former BRS leader K Kavitha.

Suggesting that Delhi has suffered since the BJP has returned to power last February, Kejriwal said, "The entire Delhi has been ruined. The biggest consequence of PM Modi and Amit Shah's lust for power has been borne by the three crore people of Delhi. Go and ask the people of Delhi. Today I challenge Modi ji. If you have the courage, hold elections in Delhi again. If you get more than ten seats, I will quit politics. If you get more than ten seats, I will quit politics. The people of Delhi are fed up with you people".
