The meeting is scheduled for 4:30 p.m. According to party sources, Kejriwal is expected to step down as Delhi CM on Tuesday. Kejriwal announced on Sunday that he would resign and would not assume the CM's chair until the people of Delhi declared him "honest." He has also called for advancing polls in the national capital to November this year, ahead of the scheduled February elections.

Kejriwal stated that if re-elected by the public, it would serve as a "certificate" of his honesty. He added that he would push for early elections, alongside those in Maharashtra.

Following Kejriwal's announcement, the BJP termed it a "PR stunt," claiming he was attempting to restore his image. He was released from Tihar Jail on Friday evening, after being granted bail by the Supreme Court in a corruption case related to the alleged Delhi Excise Policy scam.
