According to the latest information, Kejriwal, on Tuesday, will tender his resignation as chief minister. This move will kickstart the process of choosing his replacement. However, there has been no discussion on who the next chief minister will be, Delhi minister Saurabh Bharadwaj said at a press conference here.
"We have the majority and we will be invited and then the process for oath taking will happen. This should take a week," he said.
Kejriwal on Sunday announced to resign and not sit on the CM's chair till the people give him a "certificate of honesty" and sought early polls in the national capital.
At the press conference, Bharadwaj said, "The ball is in the BJP's court. They can decide on early polls if they are ready to face Kejriwal.” As per the original schedule, the Delhi elections were slated to be held early next year.
