Resign If You Do Not Get Majority In MCD: Yogendra Yadav Tells Kejriwal

You have converted the MCD elections into a referendum of your personal popularity. Your party is asking for votes only in your name. Hoardings don’t even have the name of the party. . .If within two years of winning 67 out of 70 seats in Delhi you lose this referendum, then morality demands that you do not resort to EVM excuses, resign as CM, and your government seeks fresh mandate under the principle of ‘recall’.

I hope you would remember what you said at the Ramlila Maidan and would accept the challenge.

This is what former Aam Aadmi Party leader Yogendra Yadav has said in a public letter to AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal. Municipal polls in Delhi are being held tomorrow in the corporation held by the BJP. Two years earlier, AAP had swept to power in the Delhi assembly by winning 67 out of 70 seats.

Since then, both Kejriwal and AAP have found themselves in the headlines, more often than not for the wrong reasons.

Soon after the 2015 victory, Yogendra Yadav and Kejriwal had a fallout. Yadav is now campaigning for his party Swaraj India, for the MCD polls tomorrow.
