**New Delhi:** Former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal is scheduled to meet his ex-deputy, Manish Sisodia, on Monday, a day after his resignation announcement. The meeting, to be held at Kejriwal’s official residence in Civil Lines, is expected to focus on the selection of a new CM.

Kejriwal, who stepped down after facing corruption allegations, has called for a meeting of AAP MLAs in the coming days to decide his successor. While the party has not officially announced any names, speculation is rife about potential candidates, including Kejriwal’s wife Sunita, and ministers Atishi and Gopal Rai.

The BJP has labeled Kejriwal’s resignation as a “drama” and “confession of crime,” citing the Supreme Court’s restrictions on his entry into the CM’s office.

Kejriwal, who was arrested by the ED on March 21, was granted regular bail by the Supreme Court last Friday.

The current term of the Delhi Assembly is set to expire on February 11, 2025, but Kejriwal has requested an early election in November. The AAP secured a landslide victory in the 2020 assembly elections, winning 62 seats out of 70.
