NEW DELHI : Arvind Kejriwal, a leader of India's new emerging political party Aam Admi Party (AAP) and New Delhi Chief Minister, resigned on Friday only 49 days after he assumed the office, media reports said.
According to reports, Kejriwal tendered his resignation after his failed attempt to get an anti-corruption law called Jan Lokpal Bill approved from the Delhi Assembly.
"Wen have not come here to save the government but the country. I will sacrifice the CM's chair a thousand times if I have to for this task. We have to take this fight to Parliament. Perhaps it is our last session," he was quoted by India Today as saying in the assembly.
Speaking to media, he demanded for a fresh election. He criticized the two main political parties the Congress and the BJP for not allowing the bill to be tabled in the legislature.
