Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal had send his resignation letter to the Lieutenant Governor of Delhi Mr. Najeeb Jung .He has resigned after his push for the anti-corruption Jan Lokpal Bill was blocked in the state legislature by law-makers from the Congress and the BJP.
Earlier, in the raucous Delhi Assembly, he declared, "I will give up the chief minister's office not once but 1000 times to fight against corruption."

As we have told you earlier about Janlokpal bill and Kejriwal's stand on it the Delhi CM decided to quit after the bill was not even showed The Delhi Assembly .

The legislators from the Congress and BJP who voted today to prevent him from tabling the Jan Lokpal Bill say they support the proposal, but cannot ignore the fact that it has been vetoed by Delhi's constitutional head, Lieutenant Governor Najeeb Jung. The chief minister had firmly rejected the opinion that before it is presented for review in the legislature, the bill must be vetted by the Lieutenant Governor as a representative of the centre.

he Jan Lokpal Bill has been described by Mr Kejriwal as the raison d'etre of his Aam Aadmi Party, which was set up a little over a year ago. The party and its leaders said their mission was to cleanse the polity of deep-rooted graft and self-serving officers.  

Other parties dismissed AAP as an upstart that had neither the experience nor the vision to offer governance. 

In December, Delhi voters pointedly disagreed. In the first election it contested, AAP delivered a result of astonishing proportions, placing second. The Congress, decimated to third place, offered its support to AAP which then formed a minority government.
