Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal may resign after he was prevented from tabling his dream Jan Lokpal bill in the Assembly here today in the face of stiff opposition from both Congress and BJP.
Sources close to Kejriwal said the Chief Minister may take the "extreme step of resigning soon" as the biggest bill of the government has not been allowed to be introduced.
"The Chief Minister feels there is no point in remaining in the government," the sources told PTI, adding all the party workers have been asked to come for consultations.
