Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal resigned on Friday night after
suffering a defeat in the assembly on the Jan Lokpal Bill and in a
political gamble he recommended dissolution of the assembly and holding
of fresh polls. Bringing to an end a 49-day roller coaster ride in
power, during which he received bouquets and brickbats in equal measure,
the Chief Minister and his cabinet met for one last time when it
decided to resign and make the recommendation to Lt Governor Najeeb Jung
whose advice against the anti-graft Bill he had defied in the assembly.
Goverment sources told that he has sent his resignation to Lt Governor
Najeeb Jung shortly after a meeting of the Cabinet.
Addressing
party workers at AAP headquarters, Kejriwal said his Cabinet has decided
to recommend dissolution of the assembly and holding of fresh polls.
Sharply attacking the Congress and the BJP for being in collusion to
defeat the Jan Lokpal Bill, Arvind Kejriwal said that people will teach
both the parties a lesson in future.
