Senior AAP leader and former Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia on Sunday announced that he will only hold any portfolio in the Delhi government after the people vote for him stating that ‘he did not come into politics here for the greed of chairs and posts’ following the footsteps of AAP supremo Arvind Kejriwal who also announced his resignation from the post of Chief Minister.

“Along with Arvind Kejriwal, I will also go to the people's court, if people approve my honesty in elections, only then will I sit in the chair,” he said. Taking to his 'X' handle, Manish Sisodia emphasized he didn’t enter politics for power who recently came out of jail on bail after 17-month imprisonment in the alleged excise policy linked money laundering scam.

“I came into politics to work honestly for education. I worked honestly as Delhi's education minister for 10 years. I built schools. I built new universities.

As the Education Minister of Delhi, I worked with the mantra that India cannot become a developed nation without providing the best education in government schools. The result of ten years of hard work is visible that today even in the government schools of Delhi, children are studying brilliantly and topping exams like IIT, JEE, and NEET,” he said.

He further stated, “I worked honestly but attempts were made to prove me dishonest by making false allegations against me under petty politics - I was kept in jail for 17 months on false charges. After two years of legal process, now even the country's top court has told me to go and do my work. But I will not sit on the chair of Deputy Chief Minister-Education Minister right now. I did not come into politics here for the greed of chairs and posts.”

Sisodia added that he has come to work honestly on education and have also decided that he will go to the public court along with Arvind Kejriwal and ask whether the public considers him honest or not. “Elections are to be held in three-four months. Only if the public approves my honesty, I will sit on the chair of Deputy Chief Minister-Education Minister and work for education. Jai Hind!” he said in a post.

Earlier, he addressed the party workers and public at AAP's headquarters and said, “Arvind Kejriwal kept the AAP united in such a big crisis, so today people expect that Arvind Kejriwal is the only person who can keep the whole country united.”
