Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal is once again in the headlines. Kejriwal, who came out of jail after nearly 4 months on the charge of liquor scam, will resign from the post of Chief Minister tomorrow.

There is talk that any of his close associates Atishi Singh, Kailash Gehlot, Gopal Rai, Saurabh Bhardwaj and Sunita Kejriwal can become the next Chief Minister of Delhi. It is said that Kejriwal's full focus will now be on campaigning in Haryana, where voting is scheduled to take place on October 5.

It is worth noting that only 5 months are left for the elections in Delhi and Kejriwal, who came out on bail, does not have the power of the Chief Minister. Seeing the sympathy received from the people, he has also demanded to hold early elections in Delhi.
