Kejriwals wife could be the new CM. Although there was no official comment from the AAP on the new chief minister after Kejriwal’s resignation, sources said the CM’s wife Sunita Kejriwal could be a potential candidate for replacement in the post.
One of the leaders in AAP said when the chief minister was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on March 21, Sunita Kejriwal played a crucial role in the AAP’s campaigning for the recent Lok Sabha polls in Delhi, Gujarat and Haryana.
She is a former Indian Revenue Services (IRS) officer who understands the workings of the government, he reasoned.
However, another senior AAP leader claimed that an MLA of the party will become the new chief minister. Kejriwal said the name of the next chief minister will be decided in a meeting of the party MLAs on Tuesday. The potential candidates for the chief minister’s post also include the names of ministers Kailash Gahlot and Saurabh.
