Kejriwal had to resign, it was not a matter of choice: Dikshit

Former Delhi chief minister Sheila Dikshit today said Arvind Kejriwal had no option but to resign after losing majority on the floor of the Assembly and it was not a matter of choice for the Aam Aadmi Party leader who believes in ‘talking action’ and not action.
‘His (Kejriwal) government lost majority on the floor of the House, it is not a matter (of choice), so he quit,’ the 75-year-old Congress leader said.
The former chief minister also took a dig at Kejriwal saying the AAP leader had to (quit) because he had said he was not going to rule by the law.
Sheila Dikshit made it clear that her party’s support was very ‘categorical’. ‘Anything that is good for the city and its citizens, we will back you for it but it does not mean that tomorrow you will say that we will not listen what the Lt Governor says. We did not promise to support that,’ the three- term chief minister, who lost her own seat to Arvind Kejriwal by more than 25,000 votes in the assembly polls last year, said.
Asked about the feeling among Arvind Kejriwal’s critics that he was all talk and no action, the Congress leader said, ‘He believed in talking action only’ whether he believed in action is anybody’s guess.
