"Main resign nahi karungi...": Swati Maliwal refuses to give up Rajya Sabha seat
Aam Aadmi Party Rajya Sabha MP Swati Maliwal declared on Thursday that she would have willingly given up her Rajya Sabha seat if requested, but now, despite any pressure, she firmly said, «I will not resign» («ab chaahe duniya ki koi bhi shakti lag jaye main resign nahi karungi»). In an exclusive interview with ANI, Maliwal highlighted that she is the youngest woman Parliamentarian and emphasised that she never showed any «desire» for any position.
«Agar meri Rajya Sabha ki seat unhe chahiye thi, woh pyaar se maangte toh main jaan de deti, MP toh bohot choti baat hain. (If they needed my Rajya Sabha seat, they would have asked for it, I would have given my life, it is such a small thing). If you see my whole career I never showed any desire for any position. In 2006, I left my engineering job and joined this when nobody used to know us. Only three people were there and I was one of them. I have been working since then. The way they have beaten me, 'Ab chaahe duniya ki koi bhi shakti lag jaye main resign nahi karungi' (I will not resign now). I have been told that this is the reason my character is being assassinated. I will not resign. I am the youngest women Parliamentarian right now and I will work very hard and will become an ideal,» Maliwal said.
When asked why you never realized that some of the members of the parties are becoming powerful, she said that everyone's ego has increased.
