Kejriwal Throws Open Challenge To BJP: ‘Conduct Delhi Polls, I’ll Quit If You Cross 10 Seats’

\n\n

Arvind Kejriwal, national convener of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), on Friday issued a bold political challenge to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), daring it to hold elections in Delhi at the earliest.

\n\n

‘Ready To Quit Politics’

\n\n

Addressing party workers and supporters, Kejriwal said he would step away from politics if the BJP manages to win more than 10 seats in the national capital. The statement comes amid heightened political tensions between AAP and the BJP.

\n\n

Escalating Political Showdown

\n\n

The remark is being seen as a direct counterattack against the BJP, which has been sharply critical of the Delhi government over governance issues and ongoing investigations linked to the excise policy case.

\n\n

Political Implications

\n\n

Delhi has witnessed intense political rivalry between AAP and BJP in recent years. While AAP has dominated Assembly elections, the BJP has maintained a strong presence in parliamentary and municipal contests.

What Happens Next?

Political observers say such high-stakes challenges are aimed at energising party cadres and shaping the narrative ahead of possible elections. Whether the BJP responds formally to the challenge remains to be seen.
