New Delhi: The Aam Aadmi Party on Monday ended the speculations over who will be the next Chief Minister of Delhi by staking a claim in forming the government with the support of the Congress and electing party's national convener Arvind Kejriwal as the CM designate.
Keeping his words over not holding a security cover for himself, Kejriwal in response to a letter by the Additional Commissioner of Police Security refused the security that was offered to him.
"Thank you for offering me the security. But as I already informed earlier, I don't need any security. I don't need any escort or PSO. God is my biggest security. However I would be grateful if some help is provided for crowd management at a few places where i get mobbed," he wrote in his letter to the Additional Commissioner of Police.
Delhi Police in its letter to Kejriwal had requested details of the security arrangements that the CM designate wanted for him.
"The Delhi police has been providing security cover to the Chief Minister of Delhi as the Chief Minister is given 'Z' category protectee status. Since Mr Arvind Kejriwal is going to take over as Chief Minister of Delhi, Delhi Police needs to give the security cover to him as per the norms. Kindly indicate where the security personnel should report to Shri Arvind Kejriwal," Additional Commissioner of Police V Renganathan had written to Kejriwal.
AAP which had won 28 seats in the 70-member Assembly was the second party that met Lieutenant General Najeeb Jung to stake claim after the Bharatiya Janta Party which had won 32 seats refused to form the government due to lack of a majority.
