His move, has evidently put both the BJP and the Congress on the defensive, and his outfit has apparently emerged as the party most likely to enjoy the advantage in the Assembly polls that can be held within the next six months, unless, the Centre has other plans. Incidentally, the Sunday Guardian had anticipated his resignation both this time as well as when he had put in his papers in 2014, while he had the support of the Congress. The political blunder by the Congress at that time had cost it immensely and till today, the party has not been able to win a single seat in the last two polls, where Kejriwal led the AAP to historic wins. Although, it is early to predict the outcome of the next round of Assembly elections, it is more or less settled that the AAP, could win the third consecutive time, with the BJP and Congress competing with each other for the second and third position. The Congress has improved its position and the BJP, even after winning the Parliamentary polls a few months ago, does not seem as confident as it should be. The BJP lacks a face that can be projected to oppose Kejriwal and the Congress may have no option but to bring back Ajay Maken, as its CM nominee, given that it would be wanting the support amongst Dalit and Muslims to be extended to the Punjabis as well. Kejriwal's announcement on Sunday, is a well calibrated move and the reason why he has sought 48 hours is that he wishes to gauge the reactions in political circles.
