No CM can remain absent for long, it’s against national interest, says Delhi HC on Kejriwal
Millennium Post Delhi|April 30, 2024
The Delhi High Court on Monday said the decision of Arvind Kejriwal to continue as the Chief Minister after his arrest is “personal” but it does not mean that the fundamental rights of school going children would be trampled upon.

The high court also said that Kejriwal’s absence cannot allow students to go through the first term without free textbooks, writing material and uniform in schools run by the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD).

The high court observed that a chief minister’s post in any state, leave alone a buzzing capital city like Delhi, is not a ceremonial post and that it is a post where the office holder has to be virtually available 24x7 to deal with any crisis or natural disaster like flooding, fire and disease.
