"I will become chief minister, Sisodia deputy CM only when people say we are honest," Kejriwal said.
Claiming that he and his party are honest, the Delhi CM said the BJP tried to prove him corrupt, and alleged that the saffron party cannot provide good schools and free electricity to people because they are corrupt. He asserted that only the AAP can stand against the BJP's "conspiracies".
"They slap false cases against non-BJP chief ministers. If they are arrested, I urge them not to resign but run the government from jail," he said.
Saying that the excise policy case would go on for long, the chief minister said he wanted to ask the people of Delhi whether he is honest or guilty. Kejriwal asked people to vote in his favour only if they considered him honest.
