Kejriwal says, he will quit if Lokpal bill not passed on Friday

New Delhi: Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal vowed to resign if the Jan Lokpal bill is not passed Friday in the assembly, which was Thursday crippled by protests by BJP and Congress members."We will try

"No business could take place because the BJP and Congress had already decided that they will not let the house function.

"How is it possible that both parties wanted to have discussion on the same (Bharti) issue? They kept disrupting the house again and again.”

Speaker Dhir adjourned the house four times as BJP and Congress members trooped towards him shouting anti-government slogans.

BJP legislators Kulwant Rana and R.P. Singh heckled Bharti and tore papers kept on his table.

They also heckled Kejriwal, pointing fingers towards him and taunting him on a variety of issues.

Congress legislator Asif Muhammad Khan, who has been at his aggressive best against the AAP for some time, was the most noisy.

Khan, a legislator from Okhla in south Delhi, climbed atop the speaker's podium and tore legislative papers kept there.

He then approached Kejriwal and broke the microphone on his desk before tearing the papers kept on his desk.

The pandemonium appeared to have no effect on the AAP benches. All 27 party legislators saw through the commotion seemingly unruffled.

Kejriwal didn't speak during the disturbances but watched it all keenly. So did Education Minister Manish Sisodia, who was, as usual, seated by his side.

Expelled AAP member Vinod Kumar Binny was present in the house but did not take part in the disturbances. But Janata Dal-United's Shoaib Iqbal as well as independent Rambeer Shokeen were part of the protests.
