Kejriwal Declares Defiance Against PM Modi: 'He May Be Powerful, But He’s Not God'

Delhi's former Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal launched a fiery attack on the central government on Thursday. While speaking in the Delhi Assembly, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader said, "The opposition must be upset to see me and Manish Sisodia here. Modi is powerful and has a lot of money, but he is not God. There is a God in this world, and He is with us!" 

On Thursday, AAP supremo Arvind Kejriwal was allotted seat number 41 in the Delhi assembly, many paces away from the chief minister's chair.

While his successor Atishi got the chief minister's 'one' seat, trusted lieutenant Manish Sisodia was given a spot next to Kejriwal, who was chief minister for close to 10 years, at seat 40.

After taking charge, Atishi had kept the chair used by her predecessor Kejriwal empty at the chief minister's office, a move the BJP and the Congress said was a "grave insult" to the post.

Days after coming out of Tihar on bail in the excise policy case, Kejriwal resigned as chief minister, saying he would return to the post after getting a "certificate of honesty" from the people of Delhi in the assembly polls due in February.
