"Will Announce Before...": Arvind Kejriwal Addresses Suspense On CM Faces

Mr Kejriwal also took a swipe at the Congress and BJP, pointing out that he was only following his rivals in not announcing a name for the post of CM.

Aam Aadmi Party chief Arvind Kejriwal today said that his party will announce its chief ministerial candidates for the upcoming state elections before the Congress or the BJP. "All political parties declare their CM candidates closer to the date of elections, either close to or after the model code of conduct is enforced," he said at a press conference in Punjab. Citing the example of former Punjab CM Captain Amarinder Singh, he said that Congress declared his name just one week before the elections. .@ArvindKejriwal ends all speculation on @AAPPunjab's CM Face:Punjab: Ruling Cong isn't announcing if Channi or Sidhu will be their CM FaceUP: Ruling BJP isn't announcing if Yogi or someone else will be their CM faceSame goes for Goa & UK.

"Punjab: Congress isn't announcing if (Charanjit Singh) Channi, (Sukhjinder Singh) Randhawa or (Navjot Singh) Sidhu will be CM face. UP: Ruling BJP isn't announcing if Yogi or someone else will be CM face. The same goes for Goa and Uttarakhand. We'll announce it before them," he told NDTV in response to a question on this topic.

He assured the audience that his party would declare its CM faces before all other parties.
