"I am Acting Chief Minister. I have both the mike and the remote with me."
This is what Delhi's Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia said tonight when asked about the absence of Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and whether the remote control is somewhere else while he is discharging the responsibility of a Chief Minister.
He said he is concentrating all his energies on running the government in the absence of Mr Kejriwal.
Mr Kejriwal is presently undergoing naturopathy treatment for high blood sugar and cough in Bengaluru and is slated to return on Monday.
Accompanied by his parents, Mr Kejriwal had on March 5 left for Bengaluru for treatment for chronic cough and high blood sugar. It was widely expected that he will return tomorrow but an official made it clear that he will come on Monday.
Lately, Aam Aadmi Party has been rocked by a series of stings and had been attacked by both BJP and Congress.
