Delhi Chief Minister, Mr. Arvind Kejriwal, who is the head of the party that has came into existence in less than a year and have gained enormous public support that it bagged 27 seats in Delhi Elections 2014. Kejriwal and his party members were expecting and have told media earlier today, before they went to the Delhi Assembly, that BJP and Congress won't let them present the Jan Lokpal Bill. And perhaps this is what happened.

Mr.Kejriwal have said earlier that,"We are ready to wait and watch. If they continue to disrupt the House, we are ready to give them more time and extend the session by few days to ensure the passage of the Bill. But if they defeat the introduction of the Jan Lokpal bill and stop it from being passed, the government will resign.

Later in the day, when the Delhi CM, started to present the bill in the assembly, the opposition party BJP and Congress collectively started protesting against the bill. CM was not allowed by them to present the bill. Even then, Kejriwal in his speech cleared that, he sees that speech as his last in the Delhi Assembly, thus making it clear that he was going to resign. He also said that he respects the constitution and not the orders of central government.
